Abstract
In the thymus, sequential antigen and cytokine receptor signals direct the stepwise differentiation of multi-potential CD4+CD8+ thymic precursors into Foxp3+ CD4 regulatory T cells (Tregs). In this Point of View article we discuss our recent findings about how the c-Rel transcription factor orchestrates this developmental process.Entities:
