Deficiency of the metalloproteinase-disintegrin ADAM8 is associated with thymic hyper-cellularity

Abstract:

Background: Thymopoiesis requires thymocyte-stroma interactions and proteases that promote cell migration by degrading extracellular matrix and releasing essential cytokines and chemokines. A role for several members of the A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease (ADAM) family in T cell development has been reported in the past. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we present data indicating that the family member ADAM8 plays a role in thymic T cell development. We used qrtPCR on FACS sorted thymi...
