1. A method of generating a population of progenitor T (proT) cells comprising culturing in suspension hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) with a Notch ligand conjugated to a suspension support in a non-conditioned medium to generate proT cells, wherein the Notch ligand is delta-like ligand 4 (DL4), and the suspension support is a particle or a microbead, wherein the non-conditioned medium is free of stromal cells, and wherein culturing the HSPCs with the Notch ligand conjugated to the suspension support inhibits the generation of CD19+ B lineage cells and CD11b+ myeloid cells.
