Abstract excerpt
The pre-T cell receptor (pre-TCR) promotes the development of thymocytes with productive rearrangement at the TCR beta chain locus by signaling in a ligand-independent fashion. The TCR beta chain associates with the invariant pre-Talpha (pTalpha) chain, which bears specific charged residues in the extracellular portion mediating pre-TCR self-oligomerization. In recombinase-deficient thymocytes, calnexin (CNX)...
