Abstract excerpt
Genetic elimination of CD43 has been associated with increased T cell adhesiveness and T cell hyperresponsiveness to mitogens and alloantigens. Therefore, we investigated whether T cell development was perturbed in CD43-deficient mice by breeding CD43(null) mice with male Ag (Hy)-specific TCR-transgenic mice. Neither positive nor negative thymic selection of male Ag-specific T cells were affected by CD43 status....
