✦ Synopsis


During the past few years, the essential role of distinct transcription factors in specifying cell-fate decisions in a stepwise fashion during T-cell differentiation has been revealed. One striking feature is that a single factor can act at several sites throughout T-cell development, possibly through interactions with different partners. The challenge is now to understand how these interactions can account for the co-ordination of complex extracellular signals and gene expression programs, such as those involved in T-cell receptor gene recombination and expression.

The T cell system is a complex and highly dynamic system that is amazingly robust over many decades of human life. Its functional competence is determined not only by its size but also by its diversity. Homeostatic control mechanisms have to secure sufficient T cell replenishment while preventing lo
