NF-kappaB2 is required for the establishment of central tolerance through an Aire-dependent pathway.

Abstract excerpt

NF-kappaB2-deficient mice have impaired T and B cell responses. We found, however, that in these mice there was severe infiltration of lymphocytes into multiple organs and increased activity of autoantibodies to peripheral tissue antigens in a manner similar to that of autoimmune regulator-deficient (Aire-deficient) mice. We further demonstrated that NF-kappaB2 was required for thymic Aire gene transcriptional...
