He moved to the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, USA from 1975 to 1979, where he studied
T cell maturation and development of the T cell repertoire, dependent on the transplantation antigen expression in the thymus.
In the thymus, expression of CD4 and CD8 varies during
T cell maturation, such that cells initially do not express CD4 or CD8 (double negative [DN]-RRB- after arriving to the thymus, then express both CD4 and CD8 (double positive [DP]-RRB- after TCR rearrangement, and finally downregulate either CD4 or CD8 to generate mature single - positive cells that exit into the periphery.
