title: T-cell regulation: Thy-1 - hiding in full view.
abstract: Thy-1 is a highly abundant glycoprotein on the surface of thymocytes and neurons. A null mutation in the gene encoding Thy-1 deregulates T-cell receptor signaling and causes abnormal thymocyte development; does this mean that Thy-1 has a signaling function?
