1 In this study, we show that mice deficient in the transcription factor T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet), a master regulator of type 1 immunity, display increased sensitivity to bleomycin-induced dermal sclerosis. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
2 Despite the well-established role of T-bet in adaptive immunity, we also show that RAG2(-/-) mice, which lack T and B cells, are vulnerable to bleomycin-induced scleroderma and that RAG2/T-bet double-deficient mice maintain the increased sensitivity to bleomycin observed in T-bet(-/-) mice. Bleomycin T-box 21 Mus musculus
