Trawling for treasure: tales of T-bet

Nature Immunology volume 8, pages 448–450 (2007)Cite this article

Discovering the transcription factors that direct lineage commitment in the T helper cell was a formidable task. Laurie Glimcher describes how she and Susanne Szabo hunted down T-bet, a transcription factor that is a 'master regulator' of commitment to the T helper type 1 lineage.
