However its requirement during the maturation of thymocytes from the fetal to the adult stage has not been clearly defined. We analyzed prenatal and postnatal thymocyte maturation in mice deficient for p56lck (lck[-/-]). Before birth, lck appears to play a crucial role in the expansion and proliferation of...
