Eph/ephrins mediated thymocyte-thymic epithelial cell interactions control numerous processes of thymus biology

Numerous studies emphasize the relevance of thymocyte-thymic epithelial cell (TECs) interactions for the functional maturation of intrathymic T lymphocytes. The tyrosine kinase receptors Ephs (Erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte kinases) and their ligands, ephrins (Eph receptor interaction proteins)...
