Abstract excerpt
The preTCR is associated with signal-transducing CD3gamma, delta, epsilon, and zeta polypeptides. It is generally agreed that CD3 chains play redundant roles in the receptor-mediated signal transduction. In the present study, we show that the intracytoplasmic (IC) domain of CD3epsilon is essential for early thymocyte maturation. We demonstrate that the IC domain-deleted CD3epsilon fails to restore the double...
