Attenuated asthma phenotype in mice with a fetal-like antigen receptor repertoire
Abstract We hypothesized that the scarcity of N-nucleotides might contribute to the inability of the neonate to mount a robust allergic immune response. To test this, we used terminal deoxyribunucleotidyl Transferase deficient (TdT−/−) mice, which express “fetal-like” T cell receptor and immunoglobu...
