While these data therefore show that these molecules cannot be used as markers for T cell anergy, and while the search for a bona fide T cell anergy marker continues, it also opens up new possibilities for their role(s) in modulation of T cell activation. By advancing knowledge of the key signalling events that take place during antigen recognition, more targeted approaches for enhancing or inhibiting immunity or tolerance can be devised.
