Classical MHC expression by DP thymocytes impairs the selection of non-classical MHC restricted innate-like T cells

Conventional T cell subsets are selected in the thymus by peptide bearing MHC expressed by cortical epithelial cells, in contrast cortical thymocytes express non-peptide bearing MHC molecules including CD1d and MR1 and select iNKT and MAIT cell populations respectively. Here, the authors generate a...
