An Essential Role for Medullary Thymic Epithelial Cells during the Intrathymic Development of Invariant NKT Cells

In the thymus, interactions with both cortical and medullary microenvironments regulate the development of self-tolerant conventional CD4+ and CD8+ αβT cells expressing a wide range of αβTCR specificities. Additionally, the cortex is also required for the development of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells, a...
