In the past year, significant technical developments have provided the opportunity to investigate the more mechanistic features of positive selection. Major progress has been made in determining the structure and function of the early pre-T cell receptor, in defining cell types that mediate positive

The Tcrb-V10b+ T cell population has been examined with a newly established antibody, KT10b, specific for Tcrb-V10b but not Tcrb-V10a. H-2E+ mice have higher levels of Tcrb-V10b+ T cells (4.3%-11.0%) than H-2E- mice (2.2%-4.9%). This difference appears to be determined by levels of Tcrb-V10b+ T cell
## Peptide antagonists that promote positive selection are inefficient at T cell activation and thymocyte deletion* We set out to determine whether thymocytes from Tcell receptor (TCR) transgenic animals specific for a class I-restricted determinant from ovalbumin (OVA) showed the same fine specif
Tcrb-V6+ T cells are deleted by an endogenous superantigen probably encoded by a mouse mammary tumor provirus (Mtv), Mtv-7, in association with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. In contrast, Tcrb-V6+CD4+ T cells are positively selected by MHC class II E molecules in Mtv-7- m
