Effective T-cell activation requires antigen/major histocompatibility complex engagement by the T-cell receptor complex in concert with one or more costimulatory molecules. Recent studies have suggested that the B7 molecule, expressed on most antigen presenting cells, functions as a costimulatory molecule through its interaction with CD28 on T cells. Blocking the CD28/B7 interaction with CTLA4Ig inhibits T-cell activation in vitro and induces unresponsiveness. We demonstrate that another molecule(s), termed B7-2, is expressed constitutively on dendritic cells, is differentially regulated on B cells, and costimulates naive T cells responding to alloantigen. B7-2 is up-regulated by lipopolysaccharide in
