Abstract excerpt
The IL-2 family of cytokines act via receptor complexes that share the interleukin-2 receptor gamma common (IL-2Rγc) chain to play key roles in lymphopoiesis. Inactivating IL-2Rγc mutations results in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in humans and other species. This study sought to generate an equivalent zebrafish SCID model. The zebrafish il2rga gene was targeted for genome editing using TALENs and...
