Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) regulates promiscuous expression of tissue-restricted antigens in medullary epithelial cells (mTEC) of the thymus. To understand the diverse effects of AIRE, it is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the process of AIRE-regulated gene expression. In this study, we generated a recombinant AIRE expression variant of the TEC 1A3 human cell line, TEC 1A3 AIRE<sup>hi</sup>, to determine genes targeted by AIRE, and using microarray analysis, we identifi ...[more]
