doi: 10.64898/2026.04.03.715913
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Wild-type (WT) T cells were activated in the presence of WDR5-IN-4, MM-401, or DMSO. After 4 days, cells were collected and analyzed for Tox expression by RT-PCR. Data are representative of two independent experiments. (B, E) T cells from Mll1KO mice and their WT littermates were activated in vitro. After 4 days, cells were collected and analyzed for H3K4me3 (B) and H4K16ac (E) enrichment at the Tox locus by ChIP-PCR. Data are representative of three independent experiments. (C, D, F) Thymocytes and B cells were isolated from WT mice and compared for Tox expression by RT-PCR (C), and for H3K4me3 (D) and H4K16ac (F) enrichment at the Tox locus by ChIP-PCR. Data are representative of two independent experiments. (G, H) T cells from Mll1KO mice and their WT littermates were activated in the presence of MI-3454 or DMSO. After 4 days, cells were collected and analyzed for Tox (G) and Btla (H) expression by RT-PCR. Data are representative of two independent experiments.
