lüll Alphabeta versus gammadelta lineage choice at the first TCR-controlled checkpoint Kreslavsky T; Gleimer M; von Boehmer HCurr Opin Immunol 2010[Apr]; 22 (2): 185-92Alphabeta and gammadelta T cells develop in the thymus from a common precursor. Although lineages initially were defined by the type of TCR they express, it soon became clear that the TCR type per se does not play a deterministic role in the lineage decision, since in various transgenic and knockout models, as well as in a small fraction of cells in wt mice, the TCRgammadelta can drive the differentiation of alphabeta lineage cells and the TCRalphabeta can drive differentiation of gammadelta lineage cells. Thus until recently it was unclear what determines lineage choice and at which stage the two lineages diverge. Recent observations suggest that TCR signal strength determines lineage fate and that lineage choice is made at or shortly after the first TCR-controlled checkpoint. While it is clear that the decision between alphabeta and gammadelta lineages is made at the first TCR-controlled checkpoint and the alphabeta sublineages split off later, it is less clear whether gammadelta sublineages divert already at the first TCR-controlled checkpoint or later. Recent experiments support the former view.|*Lymphopoiesis[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cell Lineage[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Precursor Cells, T-Lymphoid/*immunology[MESH]|Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, alpha-beta/*immunology[MESH]|Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta/*immunology[MESH]|Receptors, Notch/immunology[MESH]|Signal Transduction/immunology[MESH]|T-Lymphocytes/*immunology[MESH] |
