Abstract
CD8 T cell activation and acquisition of cytolytic activity, which is essential for adaptive immunity, begins with priming in the lymph node (LN). Jobin et al. recently identified a second, delayed priming phase driven by competition with regulatory T cells for IL-2, revealing a rate-limiting step with significant clinical implications.
