Abstract excerpt
The protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 has been shown to be an important regulator of antigen-receptor signaling in both T and B lymphocytes. Lymphocyte populations within the gut mucosa are phenotypically and ontogenetically different from those generally found in secondary lymphoid tissue. In T lymphopenic mice, extrathymic T cell development takes place within the gut. Here we report the characterization of T...
