The recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR) of self peptides presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) controls T cell fate in the thymus, with weak signals inducing survival (the process of positive selection) and stronger signals inducing death (negative selection). In vitro studies have indicated that ligands that give rise to positive selection induce a low, but sustained, pattern of TCR signaling; however, the temporal pattern of TCR signaling in thymocytes that are presented peptide by MHC class I (MHC class I restriction) in they thymus, under conditions that support positive selection, are unknown. Here, we addressed this question by examining intracellular calcium (Ca2+) dynamics and migratory changes in thymocytes undergoing positive and negative selection in thymic slices. We found that brief, serial signaling events that were separated by migratory periods and low cytosolic Ca2+ correlated with the positive selection of MHC class I–restricted thymocytes, whereas sustained signaling and arrest of thymocytes were associated with negative selection. Low avidity peptides and the presentation of peptides by cortical thymic epithelial cells failed to induce strong migratory arrest of thymocytes, which led to transient TCR signaling. Thus, we provide a comparison of positive and negative selection signals in situ and suggest that the absence of strong stop signals is an important feature that distinguishes between positive and negative selection.
