Antigen stimulation via TCR in mature T cells provides rapid induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular substrates including ZAP-70. To study the potential involvement of tyrosine phosphorylation in CD4+CD8+ [double-positive (DP)] thymocytes in the positive selection process in vivo, we isolated and analyzed them in the presence of phosphatase inhibitor. DP thymocytes were obtained from TCR transgenic mice (TCR-Tg) expressing MHC class I- or class II-restricted TCR in selecting and non-selecting MHC backgrounds respectively. The phosphorylation of ZAP-70 in DP thymocytes of class I-restricted TCR-Tg was significantly higher in the positively selecting background than in the non-selecting one. However, such a phosphorylation difference between selecting and non-selecting TCR-Tg was found to be considerably less in class II-restricted TCR-Tg. A similar bias for ZAP-70 phosphorylation was also observed on selecting DP thymocytes when I-A(beta) deficient- and beta2-microglobulin-deficient mice were compared. These ex vivo studies suggest that TCR-mediated signaling on DP thymocytes induces ZAP-70 phosphorylation under a different manner of engagement of TCR to class I and class II molecules in the positive selection process.
