TCR Gene Rearrangements and Expression of the Pre-T Cell Receptor Complex During Human T-Cell Differentiation
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified several populations of progenitor cells in the human thymus. The hematopoietic precursor activity of these populations has been determined. The most primitive human thymocytes express high levels of CD34 and lack CD1a. These cells acquire CD1a and differentiate into CD4(+)CD8(+) through CD3(-)CD4(+)CD8(-) and CD3(-)CD4(+) CD8alpha+beta- intermediate populations. The status of gene...
