Abstract

The production of mature effector cells from mulitpotent haemopoietic progenitors involves strict regulation of cell survival, proliferation and lineage commitment. A number of transcription factors are known to influence haemopoiesis, but little is known of their precise roles in governing individual processes. Using a novel combination of recently developed techniques, the precise roles of defined transcriptional factors will be determined by analysis of the fate of a single, multipotent progenitor cells in which transcription factor gene expression has been transiently manipulated.
