Evidence of an oncogenic role of aberrant TOX activation in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Abstract excerpt

TOX is a nuclear factor essential for the development of CD4(+) T cells in the thymus. It is normally expressed in low amounts in mature CD4(+) T cells of the skin and the peripheral blood. We have recently discovered that the transcript levels of TOX were significantly increased in mycosis fungoides, the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), as compared to normal skin or benign inflammatory...
