Journal ArticleDOI

A homologue of the TNF receptor and its ligand enhance T-cell growth and dendritic-cell function

TL;DR: RANK and RANKL seem to be important regulators of interactions between T cells and dendritic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a T cell growth factor that interacts with the beta chain of the interleukin-2 receptor

TL;DR: A cytokine was identified that stimulated the proliferation of T lymphocytes, and a complementary DNA clone encoding this new T cell growth factor was isolated, indicating that IL-15 uses components of the IL-2 receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

RANK is essential for osteoclast and lymph node development.

TL;DR: Investigating the physiological role of the TNF receptor (TNFR) family member, RANK, revealed that RANK provides critical signals necessary for lymph node organogenesis and osteoclast differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A receptor for tumor necrosis factor defines an unusual family of cellular and viral proteins

TL;DR: The predicted cysteine-rich extracellular domain has extensive sequence similarity with five proteins, including nerve growth factor receptor and a transcriptionally active open reading frame from Shope fibroma virus, and thus defines a family of receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and biological characterization of a murine ligand for CD40

TL;DR: The cloning of a ligand for CD40 that is expressed on the cell surface of activated T cells and mediates B-cell proliferation in the absence of co-stimulus, as well as IgE production in the presence of interIeukin-4 is reported.
