Priming of lineage-specifying genes by Bcl11b is required for lineage choice in post-selection thymocytes

Priming of lineage-specifying genes by Bcl11b is required for lineage choice in post-selection thymocytes

CD4 and CD8 T cells develop in the thymus with their transcription programs controlled by ThPOK and Runx3, respectively. Here the authors show that a pre-commitment event modulated by the transcription factor, Bcl11b, is required for the proper expression of ThPOK and Runx3 and correct CD4/CD8 linea...
