Modulation of TCR sensitivity during positive selection is critical to avoid negative selection and direct thymocytes into their appropriate lineage. Thymocytes just prior to positive selection (preselection) are highly responsive to low affinity self-ligands and are also actively rearranging their TCR locus as they await a positive selection signal. Preselection DP thymocytes were thought to be relatively homogeneous and TCR modulation during this stage had not been previously described. Here we provide evidence for progressive gene expression changes within the preselection DP thymocyte population that correlates with a gradual loss of TCR responsiveness and a defect in upregulating TCR target genes associated with the CD4 fate. We relate these observations to the link between positive selection and T cell lineage commitment.
