Strong TCR signalling in DN cells of TCRδ−/−. pTα−/− mice promotes increased development of unconventional TCRαβ(+)CD8αα(+) IELs. (A) Representative flow cytometry plots of DN3 and DN4 subsets from C57BL/6, pTα−/− and TCRδ−/−. pTα−/− mice. Lower plots show surface TCRβ, and combined expression of Vα2, Vα8 and Vα11, on DN4 cells from each strain. (B) Representative (from n > 3) histogram of CD5 on CD122(−)TCRδ(−) DN cells from pTα−/− and TCRδ−/−. pTα−/− mice. (C) Representative flow cytometry plots and corresponding summary bar charts of TCRαβ(+) IEL populations from C57BL/6, and pTα−/−. TCRδ−/− mice. Percentages of gated cells are indicated. ****p < 0.0001.
