Central tolerance depends upon Ag-mediated cell death in developing thymocytes. However, the mechanism of induced death is poorly understood. Among the known death-inducing proteins, TNF was previously found to be constitutively expressed in the thymus. The role of TNF in thymocyte negative selection was therefore investigated using TNF receptor (TNFR)-deficient mice containing a TCR transgene. TNFR-deficient mice displayed aberrant negative selection in two models: an in vitro system in which APC are cultured with thymocytes, and a popular in vivo system in which mice are treated with anti-CD3 Abs. In contrast, TNFR-deficient mice displayed normal thymocyte deletion in two Ag-induced in vivo models of negative selection. Current models of negative selection and the role of TNFR family members in this process are discussed in light of these results.
