Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of double-positive (DP) CD4(+)CD8(+) thymocytes to single-positive CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells is regulated by signals that are initiated by coengagement of the Ag (TCR) and costimulatory receptors. CD28 costimulatory receptors, which augment differentiation and antiapoptotic responses in mature T lymphocytes, have been reported to stimulate both differentiation and apoptotic responses in...
