Due to a production error, two typographical errors appear in the Abstract. In the second sentence, “αγ CD4+CD8+” should have read “αβ CD4+CD8+.” In the third sentence, “Eα but not Eα” should have read “Eδ but not Eα.” The corrected sentences appear below:
“However, Ptcra- as well as Tcra-targeting experiments have suggested that the early expression of Tcra in CD4−CD8− cells can partially rescue the development of αβ CD4+CD8+ cells in Ptcra-deficient mice. In this study, we show that the TCR Eδ but not Eα enhancer function is required for the cell surface expression of αβTCR on immature CD4−CD8− T cell precursors, which play a crucial role in promoting αβ T cell development in the absence of pre-TCR.”
