The Role of RANKL (TRANCE/TNFSF11), a Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member, in Skeletal Development: Effects of Gene Knockout and Transgenic Rescue
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
We report the skeletal manifestations of restoring RANKL (TNFSF11/TRANCE; see foot note on nomenclature) expression in null mice using a lymphocyte-specific promoter. RANKL was discovered independently by immunologists and bone researchers by virtue of its essential roles in lymph node organogenesis, normal cellular immunity, and osteoclastogenesis. "Rescue" of RANKL knockout mice by a T- and B-cell expressed...
