A Novel in Vivo Role for Osteoprotegerin Ligand in Activation of Monocyte Effector Function and Inflammatory Response
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Osteoprotegerin Ligand (OPGL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily and has been shown to be involved in interactions between T cells and dendritic cells. Its role in monocyte effector function, however, has not been defined. In the present study a role for OPGL in activating monocytes/macrophages has been characterized.
