Abstract excerpt
Between 10 and 20% of the peripheral gammadelta T cells express cytoplasmic TCR-beta proteins, but whether such TCR-beta chains can partake in alphabeta T-cell development has never been systematically investigated. Therefore, we reconstituted the T-cell compartment of CD3epsilon-deficient mice with Pax5-TCR-beta deficient proB cells expressing, via a retroviral vector, TCR-beta chains from either peripheral...
