Deskripsi

The transcription factor Bach2 is critical for T cell differentiation, but how it functions in Treg cells is unclear. Here the authors use a Treg-specific mouse model to show that Bach2 controls homeostasis and function of Treg cells by limiting DNA accessibility and activity of IRF4 in response to TCR signaling.
