Abstract excerpt
During their intrathymic migration, immature CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes that express a TCR able to recognize the expressed MHC molecules are positively selected, i.e., complete their differentiation program and become mature T cells. Using the immature CD4+CD8+ T cell line DPK, which can be induced to differentiate in culture, we show here that a subset of isolated thymic epithelial cells, but not peripheral...
