During thymic development, immature T cells rearrange and express the genes encoding
the T-cell antigen receptor and mature as either αβ or γδ lineage T cells. In the past year,
advances have been made in understanding the role of individual components of the T-cell
antigen receptor complex in the development of αβ and γδ lineage T cells. In addition, the
transmembrane receptor Notch has recently been implicated as a new player in αβ versus
γδ lineage determination.
