| Research Abstract |
T cells play critical roles in immune responses. During the development of T cells in the thymus, T cells recognizing self-antigens are eliminated, thereby preventing the onset of autoimmune diseases. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) ectopically express self-antigen that are normally expressed in tissue specific manner. Our study identified transcription factors regulating gene expressions in mTEC, thereby modulating the differentiation of mTECs.
