The BCL2A1 gene as a pre–T cell receptor–induced regulator of thymocyte survival
21 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
The pre-T cell receptor (TCR) is expressed early during T cell development and imposes a tight selection for differentiating T cell progenitors. Pre-TCR-expressing cells are selected to survive and differentiate further, whereas pre-TCR(-) cells are "negatively" selected to die. The mechanisms of pre-TCR-mediated survival are poorly understood. Here, we describe the induction of the antiapoptotic gene BCL2A1 (A1)...
