Abstract
We generated a mouse model to investigate the mechanistic basis of inborn errors of immunity caused by heterozygous BCL11B mutation. The BCL11B mutant protein interfered with BCL11A function, impairing T cell and neuronal development. Mutant BCL11B also failed to antagonize TCF1 function, leading to aberrant natural killer cell differentiation in the thymus.
期刊介绍:
Nature Immunology is a monthly journal that publishes the highest quality research in all areas of immunology. The editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors. The journal prioritizes work that provides translational and/or fundamental insight into the workings of the immune system. It covers a wide range of topics including innate immunity and inflammation, development, immune receptors, signaling and apoptosis, antigen presentation, gene regulation and recombination, cellular and systemic immunity, vaccines, immune tolerance, autoimmunity, tumor immunology, and microbial immunopathology. In addition to publishing significant original research, Nature Immunology also includes comments, News and Views, research highlights, matters arising from readers, and reviews of the literature. The journal serves as a major conduit of top-quality information for the immunology community.
