Ets1 Promotes the Differentiation of Post-Selected iNKT Cells through Regulation of the Expression of Vα14Jα18 T Cell Receptor and PLZF

The transcription factor Ets1 is essential for the development/differentiation of invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells at multiple stages. However, its mechanisms of action and target genes in iNKT cells are still elusive. Here, we show that Ets1 is required for the optimal expression of the Vα14...
