The mechanism of development of a unique subset of T cells, thymic NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells, has been poorly understood. We found that the development of thymic NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells was defective in mice deficient in ZAP-70. Instead, an accumulation of NK1.1(+) TCR beta(-) NK-like population was detected in the thymus and spleen of the ZAP-70 deficient (ZAP -/-) mouse. In the present report, we examined whether biochemical treatments that replace TCR-mediated positive selection signals could restore the generation of thymic NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells in ZAP -/- mice using the thymus organ culture. We found that a higher concentration of phorbol ester (PMA) than that required for CD4(+) T cell generation and ionomycin induced the generation of NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells. Phenotypic analysis of the induced NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cell population suggested that these cells expressed CD8 but not CD4 molecules, which is a different characteristic from ordinary thymic NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells. These results suggest that differential signaling is required for the generation of mainstream T cells and thymic NK1.1(+) alpha beta T cells.
