Lymphoproliferative Disorders with Early Lethality in Mice Deficient in Ctla-4

TL;DR: Although CTLA-4-deficient T cells proliferated spontaneously and strongly when stimulated through the T cell receptor, they were sensitive to cell death induced by cross-linking of the Fas receptor and by gamma irradiation, and is vital for the control of lymphocyte homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor necrosis factor receptor family member RANK mediates osteoclast differentiation and activation induced by osteoprotegerin ligand

TL;DR: Data indicate that OPGL-induced osteoclastogenesis is directly mediated through RANK on osteocLast precursor cells, and polyclonal Ab against the RANK extracellular domain promotes osteoclineogenesis in bone marrow cultures suggesting that RANK activation mediates the effects of OPGl on the osteoc last pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Profound block in thymocyte development in mice lacking p56lck.

TL;DR: The results illustrate the crucial role of this T-cell-specific tyrosine kinase in the thymocyte development, as Lck-deficient mice show a pronounced thymic atrophy, with a dramatic reduction in the double-positive (CD4+CD8+) thymocytes population.
