Abstract

A thymus-specific subunit of the proteasome, β5t, was previously described and shown to be essential for positive selection of CD8+ T cells. In this issue of Immunity, suggest that β5t is essential because it alters the specific peptide-MHC complexes displayed by cortical epithelial cells. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
