Abstract excerpt
Wnt signaling is important for T-cell differentiation at the early CD4(-)CD8(-) stage and is subsequently downregulated with maturation. To assess the importance of this downregulation, we generated a mouse line (R26-βcat) in which high levels of active β-catenin are maintained throughout T-cell development. Young R26-βcat mice show a differentiation block at the CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive (DP) stage. These DP...
