Proangiogenic function of CD40 ligand-CD40 interactions.
Angiogenesis is a characteristic component of cell-mediated immune inflammation. However, little is known of the immunologic mediators of angiogenesis factor production. Interactions between CD40 ligand (CD40L) and CD40 have been shown to have pluripotent functions in inflammation, including the production of cytokines, chemokines, as well as the angiogenesis factor, vascular endothelial growth...
متن کاملCd40/cd40 Ligand Interactions in Immune Responses and Pulmonary Immunity
The CD40 ligand/CD40 pathway is widely recognized for its prominent role in immune regulation and homeostasis. CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, is expressed by antigen-presenting cells, as well as non-immune cells and tumors. The engagement of the CD40 and CD40 ligands, which are transiently expressed on T cells and other non-immune cells under inflammatory condition...
متن کاملCD40-CD40 ligand interaction activates proinflammatory pathways in pancreatic islets.
Pancreatic islet transplantation is becoming an alternative to insulin therapy in patients suffering from brittle type 1 diabetes. A major obstacle to the procedure is the early graft loss caused by nonspecific inflammation at the site of implantation. We recently discovered that CD40, a member of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family, is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells. CD40 expressio...
متن کاملSafety and biodistribution of a double-deleted oncolytic vaccinia virus encoding CD40 ligand in laboratory Beagles.
We evaluated adverse events, biodistribution and shedding of oncolytic vaccinia virus encoding CD40 ligand in two Beagles, in preparation for a phase 1 trial in canine cancer patients. Dog 1 received one dose of vaccinia virus and was euthanized 24 hours afterwards, while dog 2 received virus four times once weekly and was euthanized 7 days after that. Dogs were monitored for adverse events and...
متن کاملLigand-binding Residue Prediction
In this chapter, we explore means for predicting protein residues that interact with small molecules. We will motivate the problem by describing potential uses for such information and proceed to discuss methods advanced for prediction. We describe our sequence-based approach and contrast it with another current methodwhich relies on predicted protein structure to help identify ligand-binding r...
