The selection of T cell receptor specificities must logically not only involve the alpha beta-TCR but, also the CD4 and CD8 molecules, as antigen recognition by the alpha beta-TCR on mature T cells is facilitated by the CD4 and CD8 co-receptors. In this review, the studies that provided key advances in our understanding of the possible role of CD4 and CD8 in T cell development will be discussed.
T细胞受体特异性的选择在逻辑上必然不仅涉及αβ-TCR,还涉及CD4和CD8分子,因为成熟T细胞上的αβ-TCR对抗原的识别是由CD4和CD8共受体促进的。在这篇综述中,将讨论那些在我们对CD4和CD8在T细胞发育中可能作用的理解方面取得关键进展的研究。
