Abstract excerpt
Thymocytes undergoing TCRbeta gene rearrangements are maintained in a low or nonproliferating state during early T cell development. This block in cell cycle progression is not released until the expression of a functional pre-TCR, which is composed of a successfully rearranged TCRbeta-chain and the Pre-Talpha-chain. The regulatory molecules responsible for the coordination of these differentiation and...
