Mutations in the major histocompatibility complex class I antigen-presenting groove affect both negative and positive selection of T cells.

Abstract excerpt

In several transgenic mouse models T cell development was shown to be controlled by the binding of the alpha/beta T cell receptor (TcR) to ligands in the thymus. In transgenic mice expressing a male-specific TcR alpha/beta, the presence of the restricting D major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule plus the male specific peptide deleted thymocytes at an early stage of development. On the other hand,...
