Abstract excerpt
The generation of mouse CD4+8- thymocytes appears to involve an activation process. CD69, an early activation marker, is first expressed on 3% of TCRlo/med double-positive thymocytes and peaks (70-90%) at the HSAhi TCRmed CD4+8lo and the HSAhi TCRhi CD4+8- stages, before being downmodulated. CD44, a marker of a later stage of activation is selectively expressed at the HSAlo CD4+8- stage. Functional changes...
