Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown that MHC class II-dependent thymocyte-thymocyte (T-T) interaction successfully generates CD4(+) T cells (T-T CD4(+) T cells), and that T-T CD4(+) T cells expressing promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein (PLZF) show an innate property both in mice and humans. In this article, we report that the thymic T-T interaction is essential for the conversion of CD8(+) T cells into innate...
