Description
Kruppel-like factors are a subclass of zinc finger transcription factors that play important roles in different aspects of cell growth, development, and differentiation. Our group have identified KLF13 as an essential transcription factor for the late expression of chemokine RANTES in T lymphocytes. However, very little is known about the role of KLF13 in T cells and other potential transcriptional targets. To address this, we sought to identify genes that are regulated by KLF13 in mouse T cells. Using microarray analysis, we compared gene expression in activated CD3+ T lymphocytes from wild type and Klf13-/- animals.
