The response of the T cells to obtaining Signals 1 and 2 is to express the receptor for the cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) and CD4+ T-cells secrete IL-2.

The final trigger for clonal expansion is the engagement of IL-2R with IL-2 from any activated CD4+ T-cell. IL-2 produced by a CD4+ cell may also stimulate clonal expansion of the CD4+ cell.
