IL-7/IL-7R signaling functions in both growth and differentiation
during T cell development. In this study, we examined the extent these
activities were controlled by signaling associated with distinct
IL-7R
cytoplasmic domains by transgenic expression of wild-type or
cytoplasmic deletion mutants of IL-7R
in the thymi of
IL-7R
-/- mice. We show an essential requirement for
the tyrosine-containing carboxyl-terminal T domain in restoring thymic
cellularity, pro-/pre-T cell progression, and survival. In contrast,
the functional differentiation of TCR 
cells and the development
of TCR 
cells are partially independent of the T domain. Thus,
separate cytoplasmic domains of the IL-7R
chain differentially
control distinct functions during T cell development, whereas normal
IL-7R-dependent thymic development requires the integrated activity of
all these domains.
