Description
Since the first description of the involvement of Notch signaling in homeostasis especially of T cells, there is great effort in research to find new target genes of Notch that are involved in T cell development in the thymus. We developed a stroma cell free system that is able to induce T cell development in vitro called the plastic thymus. Having this new tool we decided to use the gene expression technique to get an expanded and more global picture of the changes in gene expression in T cell progenitor induced by Notch signaling via DLL4-Fc.
