Abstract

The NF-κB signal transduction pathway is best known as a major regulator of innate and adaptive immune responses, yet there is a growing appreciation of its importance in immune cell development, particularly of T lineage cells. In this Review, we discuss how the temporal regulation of NF-κB controls the stepwise differentiation and antigen-dependent selection of conventional and specialized subsets of T cells in response to T cell receptor and costimulatory, cytokine and growth factor signals.

    In the version of this article initially published, the top middle portion of Figure 4a was incorrect. The MHC and TCR should be on the left, and the B7 and CD28 should be on the right (diagrams and labels for both). The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
