What is a molecule that can be expressed on an APC and that can provide costimulation to a T cell?

To generate effector cells from a naive mature T cell, activation signals 1 and 2 must be received from a professional APC, but then a third signal is also needed.  Please label your answers (1-2). 1. In what form is this third signal delivered?   2. What is the function of this third signal?

The structures of IgM and IgA contain a component that no other antibodies contain.  This structural component provides for specific binding to a receptor.  Please label your answers (1-4). 1. What is the structural component? 2. What is the receptor that can be bound by the antibodies due to the structural component, above? 3. Binding to this receptor facilitates what to be done with these antibodies (something that is not done to any other antibodies)? 4. In what tissue is this receptor most commonly found?
