Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the patterns of positive and negative selection of thymocytes expressing the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) from the D10.G4.1 T cell clone. This TCR confers reactivity to several non-self MHC class II alleles with a remarkably broad range of avidities. Therefore, negative selection can be studied when induced by high-, intermediate-, or low-avidity interactions with endogenous peptide-MHC...
