LP-BM5 retrovirus-infected C57BL/6 mice develop splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, hypergammaglobulinemia, and immunodeficiency; thus, this disease has been named mouse AIDS. In this syndrome, CD154/CD40 interactions are required for but do not mediate disease by upregulation of CD80 or CD86. We report here that there is nonetheless a necessity for CD40 signaling competence, specifically an intact tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF 6) binding site.
LP-BM5逆转录病毒感染的C57BL/6小鼠会出现脾肿大、淋巴结病、高球蛋白血症和免疫缺陷;因此,这种疾病被命名为小鼠艾滋病。在这种综合征中,CD154/CD40相互作用是必需的,但不是通过上调CD80或CD86来介导疾病。我们在此报告,尽管如此,CD40信号传导能力仍然是必需的,特别是一个完整的肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子6(TRAF 6)结合位点。
