Abstract excerpt
During T-cell development the transition in the thymus of CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) progenitor T cells into CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) cells is dependent on the expression of a T-cell receptor (TCR)-beta-chain protein. In this study purified peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes from the C.B-17 strain of mice were adoptively transferred into syngeneic, neonatal SCID mice, where donor cells resided at...
