This process of clonal expansion takes time, which explains why adaptive immune responses lag behind innate immune responses. The activation of T cells to undergo proliferation results from several signals delivered from the APC. These signals initiate and sustain signal transduction cascades culminating in the transcription of genes necessary for T-cell proliferation, most importantly IL-2 (Figure 2). Transducing signals from the APC to T cells occurs by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of intracellular substrates by kinases and phosphatases, respectively.

Either during its transit through the recycling endosome, or upon arriving at the apical plasma membrane, the pIgR will encounter a protease that cleaves the extracytoplasmic, dIgA-binding domain, referred to as secretory component (SC), from the membrane-spanning domain. Thus, the cell releases both free SC and SC–dIgA complexes, that is, secretory IgA (sIgA), into the milieu exte´rieur. Consistent with the topological constraints that preclude traffic of transport vesicles between adjoining cells, expression of pIgR is concentrated in the apical-most layer of epithelial cells in the conjunctiva.
