Abstract excerpt
The autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, defective in the hereditary autoimmune disease APECED, encodes a transcriptional regulator protein. AIRE is expressed in the medullary epithelial cells and monocyte-dendritic cells of the thymus with lower expression in the spleen, fetal liver, and lymph nodes. At the cellular level, AIRE is located in microtubular structures of the cytoskeleton and in discrete nuclear dots...
