Loss of Gαi proteins impairs thymocyte development, disrupts T-cell trafficking, and leads to an expanded population of splenic CD4+PD-1+CXCR5+/− T-cells

Abstract Thymocyte and T cell trafficking relies on signals initiated by G-protein coupled receptors. To address the importance of the G-proteins Gαi2 and Gαi3 in thymocyte and T cell function, we developed several mouse models. Gαi2 deficiency in hematopoietic progenitors led to a small thymus, a d...
