Transgene-encoded human CD2 acts in a dominant negative fashion to modify thymocyte selection signals in mice.
CD2 is a cell surface glycoprotein present on all T cells which has been shown to function as an adhesion and signaling molecule. Expressed early in T cell development, human CD2 (HCD2) has been suggested to play a role during thymopoiesis. However, the relevance of CD2 in T cell development has bee...
