Stage-specific epigenetic regulation of CD4 expression by coordinated enhancer elements during T cell development

The expression of CD4, a critical co-receptor providing T cell help in adaptive immunity, is finely tuned during development. Here the authors show that two enhancer elements, E4p and the newly-defined E4m, coordinate the expression and heritable demethylation of Cd4 in thymocytes but are dispensabl...
