Abstract

T cells develop in the thymus, which provides an essential environment for T cell fate
specification, and for the differentiation of multipotent progenitor cells into major histocompatibility
complex (MHC)-restricted, non-autoreactive T cells. Here we review the role of the Hedgehog
signalling pathway in T cell development, thymic epithelial cell (TEC) development, and
thymocyte–TEC cross-talk in the embryonic mouse thymus during the last week of gestation.
