Abstract excerpt
This review examines the value of transgenic studies in mice for the genetic dissection of signal-transduction pathways relevant to thymus development. T-cell development in the thymus is controlled by an ordered sequence of differentiation and proliferation checkpoints that culminate in the production of correctly selected, non-autoreactive, peripheral T lymphocytes. Work in transgenic mice has been fundamental...
