On the use of murine models: Results should be interpreted with caution. Batf3-deficient mice have been traditionally used as a model to study the function of cDC1; however, this transcription factor seems to play other essential roles in other immune populations👇

Isn't this the coolest Christmas present (or miracle) for a #gdTcell aficionado?! Our latest preprint showing the role of BATF3 on gd T cells is ou on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

BATF3 controls the homeostatic maintenance and function of innate-like γδ T cells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.16.694583v1
