Abstract excerpt
The thymus gives rise to two T cell lineages, alphabeta and gammadelta, that are thought to develop independently of one another. Hence, double positive (DP) thymocytes expressing CD4 and CD8 coreceptors are usually viewed simply as progenitors of CD4+ and CD8+ alphabeta T cells. Instead we report that DP cells regulate the differentiation of early thymocyte progenitors and gammadelta cells, by a mechanism...
