Abstract excerpt
CD4-CD8- double-negative (DN) and CD4+CD8- T cell clones were derived from splenic precursors resistant to killing by anti-Thy-1, -CD5, -CD4 and -CD8 monoclonal antibodies and complement. Both DN and CD4+ clones express functional T cell receptor (TcR) alpha/beta and exhibit strong autoreactivity in vitro. DN cells can be induced to proliferate by dendritic cells (DC) of all haplotypes tested, although this...
