Evidence for programmed cell death of self-reactive gamma delta T cell receptor-positive thymocytes.

Abstract excerpt

The negative selection of T cells expressing the gamma delta T cell antigen receptor (gamma delta T cells) was studied using transgenic mice expressing a gamma delta receptor with specificity for an H-2T-linked class I major histocompatibility complex molecule from H-2b mice. The potentially self-reactive gamma delta thymocytes in H-2b/d transgenic mice are larger and have lower levels of gamma delta T cell...
