Requirements for Notch Signaling in Positive Selection and Effector Function of CD8 T Cells

The generation of the cytotoxic CD8 T cell response is dependent on the functional outcomes imposed by the intrathymic constraints of differentiation and self-tolerance. Although thymic function can be partly replicated in vitro using OP9-DL1 cell cultures to yield CD8 αβ T cell receptor (TCR)-beari...
