Journal ArticleDOI

ICOS-dependent extrafollicular helper T cells elicit IgG production via IL-21 in systemic autoimmunity.

TL;DR: An anatomically distinct extrafollicular population of cells that regulates plasma cell differentiation in chronic autoimmunity is defined, indicating that specialized humoral effector T cells akin to TFH cells can occur outside the follicle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of IL-4 expression by the transcription factor JunB during T helper cell differentiation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the early increase of JunB protein in Th2 cells can provide the specificity for c‐Maf in IL‐4 expression during T cell development and directs thereby Th2 differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

MKK7 is an essential component of the JNK signal transduction pathway activated by proinflammatory cytokines

TL;DR: It is shown that MKK4 and MKK7 serve different functions in the JNK signal transduction pathway, and disruption of the Mkk7 gene alone was sufficient to prevent JNK activation caused by proinflammatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic signaling by T follicular helper cells during germinal center B cell selection

TL;DR: Using intravital imaging, it is found that selection is mediated by large but transient contacts between TFH and GC B cells presenting the highest levels of cognate peptide bound to major histocompatibility complex II.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial Activation Resulting from CD40-CD40L Interaction After β-Amyloid Stimulation

TL;DR: CD40 expression was increased and abnormal tau phosphorylation was reduced in Tg APPsw animals deficient for CD40L, suggesting that the CD40-CD40L interaction is an early event in AD pathogenesis.
