Relationship between αβ/γδ lineages and TCR expression

“Canonical” “Non-canonical”
γ δ
lineage 		TCRγδ prematurely expressed
TCRαβ 		in αβTCR Tg mice (1) (2) (3)
possibly - a minor population in wt
mice (5)
αβ lineage pre-TCR→TCRαβ TCRαβ,
TCRγδ 		in pTα−/− mice (11)
in Rag−/− TCRγδ Tg mice (6, 7)
a minor population in wt mice (8)
in species without a pre-TCR ?
