Abstract excerpt
TCRhigh cells are generated by the mainstream of T cell differentiation in the thymus, whereas TCRint cells (or NK1.1+ T cells) are generated extrathymically in the liver and by an alternative intrathymic pathway. It is still unknown how these T cell populations interact in vivo with each other. To investigate the interaction of TCRint cells with TCRhigh cells, we used congenitally athymic nude (B6-nu/nu) mice...
