Journal ArticleDOI
Newly generated thymocytes are not refractory to deletion when the α/β component of the T cell receptor is engaged by the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the TcR α/β on developing thymocytes is capable of delivering deletional signals in response to the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) as soon as the receptor is expressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the thymus during T-lymphocyte development in vitro.
TL;DR: This review of recent studies in which thymic organ cultures have been used to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of particular stages of thymocyte development will be summarised.
Journal Article
Specialisation of thymic epithelial cells for positive selection of CD4+8+ thymocytes.
TL;DR: It is suggested that this unique ability of thymic epithelium to mediate positive selection of CD4+8- cells is not solely due to presentation of a specialised peptide repertoire, but is dependent upon provision of specialised accessory interactions.

TL;DR: A specialized role for PDGFRα + fetal mesenchyme in the thymus is highlighted by determining availability of thymic niches through the regulation ofThymic epithelial proliferation via platelet-derived growth factor receptor a (PDGFRa) expression.
