Abstract excerpt
Previous reports suggested that T lymphocyte activation through phosphatidylinositol-based glycolipid (GPI)-anchored molecules is dependent on surface expression of the TCR. Here we show that stimulation of the TCR in five mutant cell lines with deficiencies in GPI biosynthesis fails to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR zeta-chain and ZAP-70, indicating that early events in TCR-mediated signal...
