Significance This study utilizes novel transgenic reporter mice to definitively evaluate T cells coexpressing two T cell antigen receptors. These experiments demonstrate that T lymphocytes naturally coexpressing two different antigen receptors are significantly more abundant than previous estimates and that these cells have a previously unappreciated role in physiologic immune responses.
