Abstract excerpt
The binding kinetics of the TCR for its interacting ligand and the nature of the resulting signal transduction event determine the fate of a developing thymocyte. The intracellular tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is a potential regulator of the TCR signal transduction cascade and may affect thymocyte development. To assess the role of SHP-1 in thymocyte development, we generated T cell-transgenic mice that express a...
