T cell functional differentiation is mediated by lineage-specific transcription factors. T helper
17 (Th17) has been recently identified as a distinct Th lineage mediating tissue inflammation…

T helper (Th) 17 cells have been recently discovered in both mouse and human. Here we
show that interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling on T cells is critically required for the early …

After activation, CD4 + helper T (Th) cells differentiate into distinct effector subsets. Although
chemokine (CXC motif) receptor 5-expressing T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are important in …

The latest nuclear reaction cross sections (including the most recent determinations of the
neutron lifetime) are used to recalculate the abundances of deuterium,^ 3^ He,^ 4^ He, and^ 7…

Regulatory T (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells were recently proposed to be reciprocally
regulated during differentiation. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we utilized a …

We report the construction and analysis of 4,836 heterozygous diploid deletion mutants
covering 98.4% of the fission yeast genome providing a tool for studying eukaryotic biology. …
