Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that both MHC class I and class II molecules can stimulate CD4+CD8+ thymocytes to develop into TCRint cells with surface phenotypes, suggesting initial differentiation along either the CD4 or CD8 developmental pathways. In accord with the view that these cells have undergone lineage commitment, we show here that CD4intTCRint cells generated by recognition of either MHC class show the...
