The data suggest that γδ/αβ lineage determination displays a remarkable degree of TCR independence.

Furthermore, the authors report that reducing the signalling potential of TCRγδ in a TCRγδ transgenic strain, by replacement of the TCRζ chain with a mutant TCRζ chain lacking ITAM motifs, resulted in decreased generation of γδ cells, but increased production of αβ-committed thymocytes. A 'signalling potential' model for γδ/αβ lineage commitment is proposed.

DN3 thymocytes express TCRβ, but not TCRγδ, and show no selection for in-frame TCRγ and TCRδ rearrangements. These data impose limits on the degree to which TCRγδ can compete with the pre-TCR for instructional opportunities.

Hayday Lymphotoxin-mediated regulation of γδ cell differentiation by αβ T cell progenitors Science 2004 DOI: 10.1126/science.1103978 This paper shows that DP thymocytes are capable of inducing the expression of a γδ-biased gene profile in γδ cells and their DN progenitors via lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) signalling. In normal mice, but not in pre-TCR-deficient mice, DP cells express the transcription factor RORγt and lymphotoxin ligands that act on LTβR-expressing DN and γδ thymocytes, thus conditioning the differentiation of γδ T cells.
