CD40L-deficient mice show deficits in antiviral immunity and have an impaired memory CD8+ CTL response
The ligand for CD40 (CD40L) is expressed on the surface of activated CD4+ T cells and its role in T-B cell collaborations and thymus-dependent humoral immunity is well established. Recently, by generating CD40L-knockout mice, we have confirmed its previously described role in humoral immunity and defined another important function of this molecule in the in vivo clonal expansion of antigen-spec...
متن کاملDeficiency in lymphotoxin β receptor protects from atherosclerosis in apoE-deficient mice.
RATIONALE Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTbR) regulates immune cell trafficking and communication in inflammatory diseases. However, the role of LTbR in atherosclerosis is still unclear. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of LTbR in atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS After 15 weeks of feeding a Western-type diet, mice double-deficient in apolipoprotein E and LTbR (apoE(-/...
متن کاملCaveolin-1-deficient mice show insulin resistance and defective insulin receptor protein expression in adipose tissue.
Several lines of evidence suggest that a functional relationship exists between caveolin-1 and insulin signaling. However, it remains unknown whether caveolin-1 is normally required for proper insulin receptor signaling in vivo. To address this issue, we examined the status of insulin receptor signaling in caveolin-1 (-/-)-deficient (Cav-1 null) mice. Here, we show that Cav-1 null mice placed o...
متن کاملOtoconia-deficient mice show selective spatial deficits.
The vestibular system contributes to the performance of various spatial memory tasks, but few studies have attempted to disambiguate the roles of the semicircular canals and otolith organs in this performance. This study tested the otolithic contribution to spatial working and reference memory by evaluating the performance of otoconia-deficient tilted mice on a radial arm maze and a Barnes maze...
متن کاملAntiviral immune responses in Itk-deficient mice.
Mice lacking Itk, a T-cell-specific protein tyrosine kinase, have reduced numbers of T cells and reduced responses to allogeneic major histocompatibility molecules. This study analyzed antiviral immune responses in mice deficient for Itk. Primary cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses were analyzed after infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), vaccinia virus (VV), and vesicula...
