Abstract
The past year has been marked by the application of new technologies to study thymocyte development. These studies have shown that positive selection affects a surprisingly large proportion of thymocytes, and now are beginning to investigate the affinities/avidities of the reactions involved. The lengthy controversy over how thymocytes decide whether to express CD4 or CD8 has taken a new turn with the discovery that levels of expression of the fate-determining protein Notch may affect the decision.Entities:
