Thymocyte Selection Regulates the Homeostasis of IL-7–Expressing Thymic Cortical Epithelial Cells In Vivo
21 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) help orchestrate thymopoiesis, and TEC differentiation relies on bidirectional interactions with thymocytes. Although the molecular mediators that stimulate medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) maturation are partially elucidated, the signals that regulate cortical thymic epithelial cell (cTEC) homeostasis remain elusive. Using IL-7 reporter mice, we show that TECs coexpressing...
