Negative Selection Assay Based on Stimulation of T Cell Receptor Transgenic Thymocytes with Peptide-MHC Tetramers

Thymocyte negative selection is a requirement for the development of self tolerance. Although it is possible to assay the induction of cell death in thymocytes in vitro using antibody cross-linking, this stimulus is much stronger than the normal range of T cell receptor ligands that could be encount...
