DNA methylation regulates the neonatal CD4+ T-cell response to pneumonia in mice
4 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Pediatric acute lung injury, usually because of pneumonia, has a mortality rate of more than 20% and an incidence that rivals that of all childhood cancers combined. CD4 + T-cells coordinate the immune response to pneumonia but fail to function robustly among the very young, who have poor outcomes from lung infection. We hypothesized that DNA methylation represses a mature CD4 + T-cell transcriptional program in...
