T cell tolerance is established in the thymus via interactions with medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) expressing tissue-restricted self antigens. Here, the authors suggest, using new transgenic mouse lines and single cell transcriptome analyses, that specific mTEC subsets are associated with distinct T cell fates.
