Abstract excerpt
CD40 is required for T cell-dependent humoral immunity, but it can also contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmunity and B cell malignancy. The TNFR-associated factor (TRAF)2 and TRAF6 adaptor proteins are positive regulators of CD40 signaling required to activate downstream kinase cascades and transcription factors. In contrast, TRAF3 can serve as a negative regulator of CD40 signaling, and CD40 signals are...
