Abstract excerpt
Pre-T cell receptor (preTCR)-derived signals mediate the transition of thymocytes from the CD4(-) CD8(-) double-negative (DN) to CD4(+) CD8(+) double-positive stage of T lymphocyte development. This progression, termed beta-selection, is limited to thymocytes that have generated a functional TCR-beta chain able to associate with pTalpha to form the preTCR complex. Formation of the preTCR complex not only induces...
