Journal ArticleDOI

Mice transgenic for BAFF develop lymphocytic disorders along with autoimmune manifestations.

TL;DR: Mice transgenic for BAFF have vastly increased numbers of mature B and effector T cells, and develop autoimmune-like manifestations such as the presence of high levels of rheumatoid factors, circulating immune complexes, anti–DNA autoantibodies, and immunoglobulin deposition in the kidneys.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAFF, a novel ligand of the tumor necrosis factor family, stimulates B cell growth.

TL;DR: A novel member of the T NF family, designated BAFF (for B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family), which is expressed by T cells and dendritic cells is described, suggesting that BAFF plays an important role as costimulator of B cell proliferation and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAFF AND APRIL: a tutorial on B cell survival.

TL;DR: The BAFF system provides not only potential insight into the development of autoreactive B cells but a relatively simple paradigm to begin considering the balancing act between survival, growth, and death that affects all cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of BAFF/BLyS overexpression and altered B cell differentiation with Sjögren’s syndrome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BAFF Tg mice, as they age, develop a secondary pathology reminiscent of Sjögren's syndrome, and altered B cell differentiation and tolerance induced by excess BAFF may be central to SS pathogenesis.
