Genetic Reprogramming of Primary Human T Cells Reveals Functional Plasticity in Th Cell Differentiation
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
Activation of naive T cells through the TCR and cytokine signals directs their differentiation into effector or memory subsets with different cytokine profiles. Here, we tested the flexibility of human Th1 or Th2 differentiation by forced expression of transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3. Ectopic expression of T-bet and GATA-3 in freshly isolated human T(N) cells resulted in their differentiation to a Th1 and...
