CD8+ T cells require a signal through a costimulatory receptor in addition to TCR engagement to become activated. The role of CD28 in costimulating T cell activation is well established. NKG2D, a receptor found on NK cells, CD8+ alphabeta-TCR+ T cells, and gammadelta-TCR+ T cells, has also been implicated in T cell costimulation. In this study we have evaluated the role of NKG2D in costimulating mouse and human naive and effector CD8+ T cells. Unexpectedly, in contrast to CD28, NKG2D engagement by ligand or mAb is not sufficient to costimulate naive or effector CD8+ T cell responses in conventional T cell populations. While NKG2D did not costimulate CD8+ T cells on its own, it was able to modify CD28-mediated costimulation of human CD8+ T cells under certain contitions. It is, therefore, likely that NKG2D acts as a costimulatory molecule only under restricted conditions or requires additional cofactors.
