CD3-zeta/eta-deficient mice have small thymuses containing cells that show a profound reduction in the surface levels of T cell receptors and terminate their differentiation at the CD4+CD8+ stage. Rather unexpectedly, CD3- or very low single positive T cells accumulate over time in the spleen and lymph nodes of CD3-zeta/eta-deficient mice after a process dependent on MHC expression. Fusion of these peripheral T cells with a CD3-zeta-positive derivative of the BW5147 TCR-alpha-/beta- thymoma resulted in hybridomas that do express an heterogeneous set of T cell receptor alpha/beta dimers at their surface and at density comparable to those found in hybridomas derived from wild-type peripheral T cells. We have investigated the specificities of these T cell receptors using spleen cells from congenic and mutant mouse strains, and showed that the majority of them readily recognized self-MHC class I or class II molecules. These results demonstrate that by increasing the density and/or output of the T cell receptors expressed in peripheral T cells, one can confer them with the capacity to respond to normal density of self-MHC molecules.
