ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides chimeric proteins containing extracellular and transmembrane domains of CD4 and protein tyrosine kinases of the src family. Also provided are DNA molecules encoding the proteins of the present invention and cells containing such DNA molecules. The proteins and cells of the present invention may be employed in methods for identifying drugs that block T cell activation and for identifying low level self-antigens.
