E protein binding at the Tcra enhancer promotes Tcra repertoire diversity

V(D)J recombination of antigen receptor loci is a highly developmentally regulated process. During T lymphocyte development, recombination of the Tcra gene occurs in CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes and requires the Tcra enhancer (Eα). E proteins are known regulators of DP thymocyte developm...
