摘要: Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells display characteristics of both adaptive and innate lymphoid (ILCs). Like other ILCs, iNKT constitutively express ID proteins, which antagonize the E protein transcription factors that are essential for lymphocyte development. However, unlike ID2 is not thymic cell In this study, we demonstrated ID3 redundantly promoted lineage specification involving induction signature factor PLZF was critical development TBET-dependent NKT1 cells. contrast, limited numbers by enforcing postselection checkpoint in conventional thymocytes. Therefore, show innate-like requirements proteins at distinct checkpoints during
