During the past year, major progress has been made in understanding proximal TCR signal-transduction events. Cbl has been identified as a negative regulator of kinases from the ZAP-70/Syk family. Studies on LAT, SLP-76, Itk and Vav have revealed their role in the activation of Ras and phospholipase-

โฆ Synopsis
Recent cDNA and genomic cloning have identified CD3 eta as an alternatively spliced product of the same gene locus that encodes CD3 zeta. Three distinct T-cell receptor isoforms have now been identified. A current view of the signal transduction function of these isoforms in thymocytes and T cells is discussed.

Recent studies have provided insights into how the complex structure of the T-cell antigen receptor relates to its signal transduction function. Both the CD3 and zeta subunits contain functioning signaling modules that regulate the activation of tyrosine kinases and phosphorylation of cellular subst
