Abstract excerpt
Several studies have demonstrated an apparent link between positive selection on hematopoietic cells (HCs) and an "innate" T-cell phenotype. Whereas conventional CD8(+) T cells are primarily selected on thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and certain innate T cells are exclusively selected on HCs, MHC class Ib-restricted CD8(+) T cells appear to be selected on both TECs and HCs. However, whether TEC- and HC-selected T...
