DR3 regulates negative selection during thymocyte development.
DR3 (Ws1, Apo3, LARD, TRAMP, TNFSFR12) is a member of the death domain-containing tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, members of which mediate a variety of developmental events including the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. We have investigated the in vivo role(s) of DR3 by generating mice congenitally deficient in the expression of the DR3 gene. ...
متن کاملThymic T-Cell Education: Positive & Negative Selection
TOLERANCE (which is antigen-specific) must be distinguished from immune deficiency (non-specific). Its most important manifestation, the maintenance of SELFTOLERANCE, was originally explained by the Clonal Selection theory as the result of CLONAL ABORTION of self-reactive clones. However, potentially self-reactive Tand B-cells do exist in normal individuals, leading to the recognition of the im...
متن کاملNormal Thymocyte Negative Selection in TRAIL-deficient Mice
The molecular basis of thymocyte negative selection, which plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining immunological tolerance, is not yet resolved. In particular, the importance of the death receptor subgroup of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-family has been the subject of many investigations, with equivocal results. A recent report suggested that TRAIL was a critical factor in this...
متن کاملNegative thymocyte selection to HERV-K18 superantigens in humans.
An experimental system to explore central tolerance in humans is unavailable. However, the human endogenous retrovirus K-18 (HERV-K18) region on chromosome 1 provides an excellent model: HERV-K18 encodes a superantigen (SAg) stimulating Vbeta7CD4 T cells that is implicated in type 1 diabetes and Epstein-Barr virus persistence. In this study, we have addressed thymic HERV-K18 SAg expression, the...
متن کاملThymic negative selection is functional in NOD mice
Based on analyses of multiple TCR transgenic (tg) models, the emergence of pathogenic T cells in diabetes-prone NOD mice has been ascribed to a failure to censure autoreactive clones in the thymus. In contrast, using isolated and preselected thymocytes, we show that nonobese diabetic (NOD) genetic variation impairs neither clonal deletion nor downstream transcriptional programs. However, we fin...
