Tcf1 and Lef1 provide constant supervision to mature CD8+ T cell identity and function by organizing genomic architecture
Abstract
How CD8+ T cell identity is maintained after exit from the thymus is not fully established. Here the authors use multiomics approaches including Hi-C to show that Tcf1 and Lef1 prevent aberrant expression of lineage-inappropriate genes by organizing three-dimensional genomic architecture in CD8+ T cells.
