Abstract

Understanding T cell development is one of major goals of the immunology. We have been studying on cellular and molecular mechanisms for how functionally optimized T cells are generated in the thymus. Our recent results from different perspectives and approaches – T cell receptor signaling, thymic stromal cell function, and human genetic variation – will be presented and discussed.
