Transcriptional regulation of T-cell genes during T-cell development

Curr Opin Immunol. 1994 Apr;6(2):231-7. doi: 10.1016/0952-7915(94)90096-5.

Abstract

The expression of many T cell specific genes has been shown to be regulated at the transcriptional level. Recent studies of T-cell specific promoters and enhancers have allowed the identification of a number of transcription factors that appear to play distinct but complementary roles in regulating gene expression during T-cell development and activation.
