Abstract excerpt
Unlike the main TCR alphabeta T cell lineage in which deletion occurs at the CD4+ CD8+ double-positive (DP) stage upon TCR engagement by antigen in the thymus, some T cells appear to require such engagement for their selection, either in the thymus or extrathymically. We used a transgenic TCR (tgTCR) model which, as we previously showed, led to selection upon expression of the corresponding antigen H-2Kb (Kb) in...
