X Abstract

Combining CD5-null, MHC-deficient and lineage-specific reporter animals, we have investigated the influence of CD5 on positive selection and the choice of CD4- versus CD8-lineage commitment on broad populations of thymocytes. CD5 has no obvious quantitative effect in wild-type mice. In mice lacking MHC class II molecules, however, increased numbers of transitional, class I-selected CD4+ CD8(int) CD3(hi) cells were positively selected in the absence of CD5. Importantly, they were committed to the CD4 lineage. Our results indicate that CD5 negatively regulates the differentiation of CD4-committed cells in suboptimal conditions, thus perhaps serving to tighten the correlation between restriction of the TCR and lineage choice.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
