IFN‐β‐induced SOCS‐1 negatively regulates CD40 gene expression in macrophages and microglia
29 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Costimulation between T cells and antigen-presenting cells is required for adaptive immune responses. CD40, a costimulatory molecule, is expressed in macrophages and microglia. The aberrant expression of CD40 is involved in human diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease. CD40 expression is induced by a variety of stimuli, including IFN-gamma and lipopolysaccharide...
