Impaired thymic selection and abnormal antigen-specific T cell responses in Foxn1(Δ/Δ) mutant mice.
Foxn1(Δ/Δ) mutant mice have a specific defect in thymic development, characterized by a block in TEC differentiation at an intermediate progenitor stage, and blocks in thymocyte development at both the DN1 and DP cell stages, resulting in the production of abnormally functioning T cells that develop...
