Abstract

Blockade of TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE)-receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) interaction reverses healing in CD40L−/− mice infected with Leishmania major. Although previous studies demonstrated a requirement for CD40-CD40L interaction in production of IL-12 and the development of resistance to Leishmania infection, we recently showed that CD40L−/− mice control infection when inoculated with low numbers of parasites and that cells from these mice produce IL-12. Here, we show that in vivo treatment with a TRANCE receptor fusion protein results in a decrease in numbers of IL-12 producing cells as well as a shift from a dominant Th1 to Th2 type response in infected mice. These results demonstrate that CD40L−/− mice use the TRANCE-RANK costimulatory pathway to promote IL-12 production and the activation of a protective Th1 type response.

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.
