  • Title: Tolerance in T-cell-receptor transgenic mice involves deletion of nonmature CD4+8+ thymocytes.
    Author: Kisielow P, Blüthmann H, Staerz UD, Steinmetz M, von Boehmer H.
    Journal: Nature; 1988 Jun 23; 333(6175):742-6. PubMed ID: 3260350.
    Abstract:
    The mechanism of self-tolerance is studied in T-cell-receptor transgenic mice expressing a receptor in many of their T cells for the male (H-Y) antigen in the context of class I H-2Db MHC antigens. Autospecific T cells are deleted in male mice. The deletion affects only transgene-expressing cells with a relatively high surface-density of CD8 molecules, including nonmature CD4+ CD8+ thymocytes, and is not caused by anti-idiotype cells.
