Inducing and expanding regulatory T cell populations by foreign antigen
- K. Kretschmer, I. Apostolou, D. Hawiger, K. Khazaie, M. Nussenzweig, H. Boehmer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 23 October 2005
Evidence suggests that regulatory T cells expressing the transcription factor Foxp3 develop extrathymically and intrathymically. Mechanisms of extrathymic induction require further scrutiny,… Expand
Tolerance in T-cell-receptor transgenic mice involves deletion of nonmature CD4+8+ thymocytes
- P. Kisielow, H. Bluethmann, U. Staerz, M. Steinmetz, H. Boehmer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 23 June 1988
The mechanism of self-tolerance is studied in T-cell-receptor transgenic mice expressing a receptor in many of their T cells for the male (H–Y) antigen in the context of class I H–2Db MHC antigens.… Expand
Origin of regulatory T cells with known specificity for antigen
- I. Apostolou, A. Sarukhan, Ludger Klein, H. Boehmer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 1 July 2002
T cell receptor agonists can induce the differentiation of regulatory T (TR) cells. We report here that the immunoglobulin κ–controlled expression of an agonist in different cell types correlated… Expand
Foxp3 occupancy and regulation of key target genes during T-cell stimulation
- A. Marson, K. Kretschmer, +7 authors R. Young
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 22 February 2007
Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for the prevention of autoimmunity. Treg cells have an attenuated cytokine response to T-cell receptor stimulation, and can suppress the… Expand
Mechanisms of suppression by suppressor T cells
- H. Boehmer
- Biology
- Nature Immunology
- 1 April 2005
Mechanisms of immunosuppression by CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells have been addressed using many in vitro and in vivo conditions. However, those studies have not yielded a single mode of action. This… Expand
Efficient thymic immigration of B220+ lymphoid-restricted bone marrow cells with T precursor potential
- C. Martin, I. Aifantis, +4 authors F. Gounari
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 17 August 2003
Using a human CD25 reporter transgene controlled by regulatory sequences from the gene encoding pre-T cell receptor α, we identified a common lymphocyte precursor (CLP-2) population that, in contrast… Expand
Notch 1 activation in the molecular pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
- C. Grabher, H. Boehmer, A. Look
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Cancer
- 1 May 2006
The chromosomal translocation t(7;9) in human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) results in deregulated expression of a truncated, activated form of Notch 1 (TAN1) under the control of the… Expand
Checkpoints in lymphocyte development and autoimmune disease
- H. Boehmer, F. Melchers
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Immunology
- 2010
Antigen receptor–controlled checkpoints in B lymphocyte development are crucial for the prevention of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Checkpoints at the stage of pre–B cell… Expand
Cyclin C is a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor
- N. Li, Anne Fassl, +35 authors P. Sicinski
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Cell Biology
- 1 November 2014
Cyclin C was cloned as a growth-promoting G1 cyclin, and was also shown to regulate gene transcription. Here we report that in vivo cyclin C acts as a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor, by… Expand
Positive selection of antigen-specific T cells in thymus by restricting MHC molecules
- P. Kisielow, H. Teh, H. Bluethmann, H. Boehmer
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 October 1988
Thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells) recognize antigen in the context of class I or class II molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) by virtue of the heterodimeric αβ T-cell… Expand
