Abstract excerpt
Itk, a member of the Tec family of tyrosine kinases, is critical for TCR signaling, leading to the activation of phospholipase C gamma1. Early biochemical studies performed in tumor cell lines also implicated Itk in CD28 signaling. These data were complemented by functional studies on primary Itk-/- T cells that suggested a negative role for Itk in CD28 signaling. In this report, we describe a thorough analysis...
