Abstract excerpt
TCRalphabeta signaling is crucial for the maturation of CD4 and CD8 T cells, but the role of the Notch signaling pathway in this process is poorly understood. Genes encoding Presenilin (PS) 1/2 were deleted to prevent activation of the multiple Notch receptors expressed by developing thymocytes. PS1/2 knockout thymocyte precursors inefficiently generate CD4 T cells, a phenotype that is most pronounced when...
