High impact information on TNFSF5

  • This was not related to binding of CTLA4Ig or CD40L fusion proteins, implying similar levels of expression of their ligands, CD80 and CD86 or CD40 [1].
  • In this study, we used murine CD154 (CD40 ligand) and gamma-chain-common cytokines to support the growth of B cells isolated from ovine lymphoid tissues [2].
  • Of these, 11 genes showed significant up regulation (fold change, >1.5; P < 0.1) across both animals, including those encoding bovine CD40L, several matrix metalloproteinases, and SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cystine) [3].
  • Interestingly, in the presence of CD40 ligand, sIgM-mediated induction of CD5 on B cells was inhibited [4].
  • We investigated bovine CD40L mRNA expression in established T cell clones by RT-PCR and Southern blotting [5].
 

Other interactions of TNFSF5

  • The co-administration of costimulatory molecules CD80 (B7-1), CD86 (B7-2) and CD154 (CD40L) has been shown to enhance immune responses in several murine models [6].
