T cell-intrinsic function of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in the regulation of GM-CSF expression and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis pathogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

The noncanonical NF-κB pathway induces processing of the NF-κB2 precursor protein p100, and thereby mediates activation of p52-containing NF-κB complexes. This pathway is crucial for B cell maturation and humoral immunity, but its role in regulating T cell function is less clear. Using mutant mice that express a nonprocessible p100, NF-κB2(lym1), we show that the noncanonical NF-κB pathway has a T cell-intrinsic...
