Impaired CD8 T cell memory and CD4 T cell primary responses in IL-7Rα mutant mice

Loss of interleukin (IL)-7 or the IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα, CD127) results in severe immunodeficiencies in mice and humans. To more precisely identify signals governing IL-7 function in vivo, we have disrupted the IL-7Rα Y449XXM motif in mice by knock-in mutagenesis (IL-7Rα449F). Thymic precursor...
