Abstract excerpt
A system to innocuously visualize T cell lineage commitment is described. Using a "knock-in" approach, we have generated mice expressing a beta-galactosidase reporter in place of CD4; expression of beta-galactosidase in these animals appears to be an accurate and early indicator of CD4 gene transcription. We have exploited this knock-in line to trace CD4/CD8 lineage commitment in the thymus, avoiding important...
