Abstract
Early T-cell receptor mediated signal transduction involves the activa tion of several tyrosine protein kinases. One of these tyrosine kinase s, p56(lck), is expressed primarily in T-cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells and has been shown to be critical for their proliferative and e ffector functions. Indandiones have been identified as a potent and se lective chemical class that inhibits p56(lck). (C) 1998 Elsevier Scien ce Ltd. All rights reserved.
