Abstract excerpt
The Ikaros gene, which encodes a family of hemopoietic-specific zinc finger proteins, is described as a central regulator of lymphocyte differentiation. During fetal development, it is required at the earliest stage of T cell and B cell specification. In the adult, however, lymphoid lineages rely on Ikaros at distinct phases of their development. Its activity is essential for the generation of B cell but not of T...
