Abstract excerpt
The adaptor protein SLP76 directs signaling downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR) and is essential for thymocyte development. SLP76 contains three N-terminal tyrosines that are critical for its function. To define the role of these residues in thymocyte development, we generated two lines of "knock-in" mice, one expressing a mutation in tyrosine 145 (Y145F) and a second harboring two point mutations at...
