Efficiency of RNA Interference in the Mouse Hematopoietic System Varies between Cell Types and Developmental Stages

Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Kanellopoulou, Chryssa, Heissmeyer, Vigo, Paeper, Corinna, Borowski, Christine, Aifantis, Iannis, ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring posttranscriptional gene-silencing mechanism that has been adapted as a genetic tool for loss-of-function studies of a variety of organisms. It is...

The BCL2A1 gene as a pre–T cell receptor–induced regulator of thymocyte survival

Mandal, Malay, Borowski, Christine, Palomero, Teresa, Ferrando, Adolfo A., Oberdoerffer, Philipp, Meng, Fanyong, ...

The pre–T cell receptor (TCR) is expressed early during T cell development and imposes a tight selection for differentiating T cell progenitors. Pre-TCR–expressing cells are selected to survive...

Signaling for NKT cell development: the SAP–FynT connection

Borowski, Christine, Bendelac, Albert

New studies demonstrate a critical role for the adaptor protein SAP (SLAM-associated protein) during NKT cell development. By connecting homotypic SLAM family receptor interactions with the FynT Src...

Pre-TCRα and TCRα Are Not Interchangeable Partners of TCRβ during T Lymphocyte Development

Borowski, Christine, Li, Xiaoyan, Aifantis, Iannis, Gounari, Fotini, Von Boehmer, Harald

In contrast with the αβ T cell receptor (TCR), the pre-TCR spontaneously segregates to membrane rafts from where it signals in a cell-autonomous fashion. The disparate behaviors of these two...
