IL-7 signalling represses Bcl-6 and the TFH gene program

The transcriptional repressor Bcl-6 is linked to the development of both CD4+ T follicular helper (TFH) and central memory T (TCM) cells. Here, we demonstrate that in response to decreased IL-2 signalling, T helper 1 (TH1) cells upregulate Bcl-6 and co-initiate TFH- and TCM-like gene programs, inclu...
