Abstract excerpt
<h3>Objectives</h3> <i>TNFSF4</i> (encodes OX40L) is a susceptibility locus for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Risk alleles increase <i>TNFSF4</i> expression in cell lines, but the mechanism linking this effect to disease is unclear, and the OX40L-expressing cell types mediating the risk are not clearly established. Blockade of OX40L has been demonstrated to reduce disease severity in several models of...
