Deficiency in IL-17-committed Vγ4(+) γδ T cells in a spontaneous Sox13-mutant CD45.1(+) congenic mouse substrain provides protection from dermatitis.

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-committed γδ T cells (γδT17 cells) participate in many immune responses, but their developmental requirements and subset specific functions remain poorly understood. Here we report that a commonly used CD45.1(+) congenic C57BL/6 mouse substrain is characterized by selective deficiency in Vγ4(+) γδT17 cells. This trait was due to a spontaneous mutation in the gene encoding the transcription...
