Immunity. 1997; A study of almost identical design to that of Ignatowicz et al. [19]. It is interesting because two strains of mice are described which differ by 5- to 10-fold in their level of expression of the MHC molecule-Eα peptide complex. A large, diverse T cell repertoire was selected in the lower, but not higher, expressor.

Science. 275:1997;678-683 An approach based on adenovirus-mediated delivery of neo-peptide-invariant chain fusion genes directly to the thymus, permitting a view of positive selection on a defined peptide amongst a multitude of others. Selection of the response to moth cytochrome c was promiscuous within limits; the precise population of T cells selected was shaped by the particular neo-peptide expressed in the thymus.
