We have examined the question of whether there is an additional checkpoint in T cell development that regulates T cell receptor (TCR)-ß expression in CD25+44- thymocytes by mechanisms that are independent of the pre-TCR. Our analysis in various mutant mice indicates that all changes in cytoplasmic TCR-ß expression can be accounted for by pre-TCRdependent signal mediation, putting into question the function of a putative pro-TCR.
Key Words: lymphocyte development, pre-T cell receptor, cytoplasmic T cell receptor ß, clonotype-independent CD3 complex
