Anti-T cell receptor (aTCR) antibody (Ab) stimulation of T cells results in TCR down-modulation and T cell activation. Differences in the effect of anti-alpha-chain and beta-chain Ab have been reported on thymocytes. Anti-beta-chain Ab but not anti-alpha-chain reagents cause long-term TCR down-modulation. However, both types of Ab result in TCR cross-linking and activate early steps in signal transduction. In this study, we show that TCR internalization and calcium flux, hallmarks of T cell acti ...[more]
