Thymic Selection of Cytotoxic T Cells Independent of CD8 α-Lck Association

The CD8α cytoplasmic domain associates with p56

, a nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase. The biological relevance of CD8α-Lck association in T cell development was tested with transgenic mice generated to express a CD8α molecule with two amino acid substitutions in its cytoplasmic domain, which abolishes the association of CD8α with Lck. The CD8α mutant was analyzed in a CD8

T cells in these mice were apparently normal. Thus, CD8α-Lck association is not necessary for positive selection, negative selection, or CD8-dependent cytotoxic function.
