In this thesis, we investigated proteins as well as mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation in primary T cells. To this end, we employed a technique termed “interactome capture”, which allows capture of all RBPs bound to the total mRNA in a cell (the “RBPome”). We identified the RBPome of two T helper cell subsets, namely Teff as well as TFoxp3+ cells. Furthermore, we specifically focused the analysis on Treg cells and investigated a possible post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism of their lineage defining transcription factor Foxp3.
