Abstract

The costimulatory receptor OX40 has recently been shown to be involved in primary CD4 responses to several defined Ags. However, to date there has been little information regarding the mechanism of action of OX40, such as whether it regulates T cell numbers, reactivity, or both, and whether it contributes to induction of long-term T cell responses. With an agonist Ab to OX40, and by tracking Ag-specific TCR transgenic T cells in vivo, we show that ligation of OX40 induces clonal expansion and survival of CD4 cells during primary responses, and results in the accumulation of greater numbers of memory cells with time. Significantly, OX40-deficient T cells, from mice generated by gene targeting, secrete IL-2 and proliferate normally during the initial period of activation, but cannot sustain this during the latter phases of the primary response, exhibiting decreased survival over time. Mice lacking OX40 develop only low frequencies of Ag-specific CD4 cells late in primary responses in vivo and generate dramatically lower frequencies of surviving memory cells. These results demonstrate that OX40-OX40L interactions control primary T cell expansion and the ability to retain high numbers of Ag-specific T cells. In this way, OX40 signals promote survival of greater numbers of T cells with time and control the size of the memory T cell pool.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
