Abstract excerpt
The pre-TCR promotes thymocyte development in the alphabeta lineage. Productive rearrangement of the TCRbeta locus triggers the assembly of the pre-TCR, which includes the pTalpha chain and CD3 epsilongammadeltazeta subunits. This complex receptor signals the up-regulation of CD4 and CD8 expression, thymocyte proliferation/survival, and the cessation of TCRbeta rearrangements (allelic exclusion). In this study,...
