Abstract excerpt
When endogenous mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) superantigens (SAg) are expressed in the first weeks of life an efficient thymic deletion of T cells expressing MMTV SAg-reactive T cell receptor (TcR) V beta segments is observed. As most inbred mouse strains and wild mice contain integrated MMTV DNA, knowing the precise extent of MMTV influence on T cell development is required in order to study T cell...
