Abstract excerpt
The immunosuppressant FK506 inhibits thymocyte positive selection. Calcineurin, a FK506-sensitive Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, is presumed to be involved in this event without direct evidence. We have previously shown that moderate stimulation of CD4(+)CD8(+) thymocytes with a combination of the calcium ionophore ionomycin and phorbol myristate acetate mimics positive selection events including...
