Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) and N-WASP are critical for T cell development

Abstract excerpt

Although T cell dysfunction and lymphopenia are key features of immunodeficient patients with the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-deficient mice, T cell development appears relatively normal. We hypothesized that N-WASP, a ubiquitously expressed homologue of WASP, may serve a redundant function with WASP. To examine the unique and redundant activities of WASP and N-WASP, we...
