Abstract excerpt
The previous paper in this series demonstrates that rat T cells developing de novo in the presence of mouse mammary tumor virus (Mtv) antigens in rat-->severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse xenochimeras display a distinct pattern of V beta-restricted deletion; this deletion pattern is remarkably similar to that occurring during thymic development of mouse T cells in Mtv+ strains. In addition, T cells...
