Notch/RBP-J signaling is required for generation of early T progenitors (ETP) and promotion of double-negative (DN) 4 cells from DN3 cells in thymocyte differentiation. However, whether Notch affects other steps during thymocyte differentiation remains unknown. Msx2-interacting nuclear target protein (Mint) is an endogenous inhibitor of Notch regulation. Concordantly, by ex vivo analyses of embryonic thymi and in vitro differentiation studies of fetal liver progenitors, we find that Mint deficie ...[more]
