The MRTFs are required for thymocyte trafficking and Treg-mediated immune tolerance
The MRTFs (myocardin-related transcription factors) are essential for effective cytoskeletal function during differentiation and development. To investigate the role played by the MRTFs in T cell development and function we inactivated Mrtfb in Mrtfa-null mice at the DN2 stage (MrtfabKOT animals). Positive selection, and development of MrtfabKOT regulatory (Treg), {gamma}{delta}, and NK T cells…
