Abstract excerpt
We have studied the role of the T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains (betaTM/Cyto) in T cell signaling. Upon antigen stimulation, T lymphocytes expressing a TCR with mutant and betaTM and Cyto domains accumulate in large numbers and are specifically defective in undergoing activation-induced cell death (AICD). The mutant TCR poorly recruits the protein adaptor Carma-1 and is...
