“…Thus, our results revealed a novel role for the Notch-RBP-Jk-IL-7Ra axis that is independent of Hes1 for homeostasis of IL-17 + gd T cells. The Journal of Immunology, 2015, 194: 243-251. N otch signaling plays essential roles in T cell development, such as lineage commitment and maturation, in the thymus (1,2). In mammals, four Notch receptors (Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, and Notch4) are bound to five ligands: D-like (Dll)1, Dll3, Dll4, Jagged1, and Jagged2.…”
