Abstract excerpt
To examine the role of NF-kappaB in T cell development, we analyzed thymocyte ontogeny in transgenic (mutant I-kappaBalpha (mI-kappaBalpha)) mice that express a superinhibitory form of the NF-kappaB inhibitory protein, I-kappaBalpha (I-kappaBalpha(A32/36)), under the control of the T cell-specific CD2 promoter and enhancer. Thymi from mI-kappaBalpha mice contained increased numbers of double-positive (DP) and...
