Analysis of mice carrying mutant T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) genes indicates that TCR-beta gene rearrangement or expression is critical for the differentiation of CD4-CD8- thymocytes to CD4+CD8+ thymocytes, as well as for the expansion of the pool of CD4+CD8+ cells. TCR-alpha is irrelevant in these developmental processes. The development of gamma delta T cells does not depend on either TCR-alpha or TCR-beta.
对携带突变型T细胞抗原受体(TCR)基因的小鼠进行分析表明,TCR-β基因重排或表达对于CD4-CD8-胸腺细胞向CD4+CD8+胸腺细胞的分化以及CD4+CD8+细胞池的扩增至关重要。TCR-α在这些发育过程中无关紧要。γδT细胞的发育不依赖于TCR-α或TCR-β。
