Expression of the pre–T cell receptor α (pTα) gene has been exploited in previous studies as a molecular marker to identify tiny cell populations in bone marrow (BM) and blood that were suggested to contain physiologically relevant thymus settling progenitors (TSPs). But to what extent these cells genuinely contribute ...

Abstract It is postulated that IFN-γ production hinders long-term acceptance of transplanted organs. To test this hypothesis, we compared survival of skin and heart allografts in wild-type (IFN-γ+/+) mice to that in IFN-γ gene knockout (IFN-γ−/−) mice. We found that perioperative blockade of the CD28 and/or CD40 ligand...
