Determining Lineage Fate, Survival and Proliferation of Differentiating Thymocytes: Interplay between Notch, TCR, PI3K and MAPK Pathways

A common bipotent thymocyte precursor gives rise to both lineages of T cells, αβ and γδ. This thesis addresses how the interplay between intrinsic T cell receptor (TCR) signals and cell extrinsic signals provided by Notch and TCR ligands help to assign and support a final lineage fate decision.
