Tumor necrosis factor- (TNF- ) plays a
crucial role in the early defense against pathogens. This cytokine is
produced by several cell types including T lymphocytes expressing the
 as well as the  T cell receptor (TcR). In human, the
circulating  T cells, which mostly express V 9V 2 TcR, have
been strongly suggested to play an important protective role against
infectious agents. These activated cells early produce high amounts of
TNF- , which induce a determinant beneficial effect against
development of intracellular pathogens; however, sustained production
of this cytokine can result in immunopathological diseases. The signals that regulate TNF- production in V 9V 2 T cells are totally
unknown. In primary  T cells, TNF- production was shown to
necessitate engagement of the TcR and CD28, and to be independent of
the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase pathway. We demonstrate herein that, in contrast to  T cells, TNF- production in V 9V 2 T lymphocytes is independent of CD28 costimulation and highly dependent on TcR-induced p38 kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 pathway activation for optimal cytokine release. Moreover, we bring
elements supporting the idea that the "activation threshold" of
 T cells leading to cytokine production is lower than that of
 T cells.
