Abstract excerpt
Although it is well established that early expression of TCRbeta transgenes in the thymus leads to efficient inhibition of both endogenous TCRbeta and TCRgamma rearrangement (also known as allelic and "isotypic" exclusion, respectively) the role of pTalpha in these processes remains controversial. Here, we have systematically re-evaluated this issue using three independent strains of TCRbeta-transgenic mice that...
