Mechanisms underlying lymphopenia-driven autoimmunity in the setting of co-inhibitory molecule deficiency
DownloadFall 2016
T lymphocytes (T cells) are powerful directors and effectors of immunity. The system of pseudo-random rearrangements of the T cell receptor (TCR) loci that underlie their ability to recognize a vast universe of molecular patterns is at once useful and dangerous, because many T cells develop TCR...

Spring 2023
Recent thymic emigrants (RTE) are newly generated T cells that have just been exported to the periphery, where they continue their maturation to become mature T cells. RTE have only undergone central tolerance in the thymus but not yet undergone peripheral tolerance. As such, it is imperative...

T Cell Generation in a Lymphopenic Environment Generates Disease when the Thoracic Thymus is Eliminated; Augmentation by IL-7/Anti-IL-7 Complexes
DownloadSpring 2012
Cervical thymus functionally mimics the thoracic thymus in supporting T cell development and exists in a subset of mice and humans. Importantly, it remains unknown whether the cervical thymus generates an overall repertoire of T cells that are self-tolerant similar to the thoracic thymus. Mice...
