Spontaneous Differentiation of T Follicular Helper Cells in LATY136F Mutant Mice

Mice with a mutation at the LAT-PLCγ1 binding site (Y136) have a defect in thymocyte development due to dampened TCR signaling. CD4+ T cells that do reach the periphery are hyper-activated and skewed to Th2. Over time, these mice develop an autoimmune-like syndrome, characterize by overproduction of...
