The glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-related gene (GITR; TNFRSF18) modulates immune response activating coaccessory signals in T cells and is expressed at high levels in CD4+CD25+ cells. Its ligand (GITRL) is expressed in antigen-presenting cells, where it is capable of promoting signaling. We investigated the role of GITR/GITRL interaction during disseminated candidiasis in GITR...
