Abstract

T cells are one of the main weapons which the immune system uses in its constant struggle to defend us from bacteria, viruses and other invaders. Millions of T cells are manufactured in the thymus, where they undergo a quality control check. Those which are deemed useful to the body are retained; those which are deemed to be dangerous are killed. The Immune Associated Nucleotide (Ian) genes are a closely related family of 10 genes, which appear to participate in these decisions regarding T cell fate. We would like to know more about the types of proteins encoded by the Ian genes and what the actual role of Ian proteins is.
