A role for the immediate early gene product c-fos in imprinting T cells with short-term memory for signal summation.

T cells often make sequential contacts with multiple DCs in the lymph nodes and are likely to be equipped with mechanisms that allow them to sum up the successive signals received. We found that a period of stimulation as short as two hours could imprint on a T cell a "biochemical memory"...
