CD4 — IRF4
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Tominaga et al., Int Immunol 2003
(Leishmaniasis, Cutaneous) :
To further investigate the
role of
IRF-4 in
CD4 ( + ) T cell function, IRF-4 ( -/- ) mice were challenged with the intracellular pathogen Leishmania major
Tamura et al., J Immunol 2005
:
We found that
IRF-4 is
required for the generation of
CD4 ( + ) DCs, whereas IRF-8 is, as reported previously, essential for CD8alpha ( + ) DCs
Cao et al., Eur J Immunol 2010
:
Similar to the effect of Runx3 deficiency, transgenic expression of
IRF4 led not only to an aberrantly high expression of
CD4 surface molecules on intermediate CD4 ( + ) CD8 ( low ) cells and CD8 SP thymocytes, but also impaired CD8 ( + ) T-cell function ... Taken together, our data suggest that
IRF4 plays an important role in the regulation of Runx3 expression and
CD4 ( + ) /CD8 ( + ) thymocyte differentiation
Bruhn et al., Allergy 2012
(Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal) :
IRF4 increased in allergen challenged
CD4 ( + ) cells from patients with IAR, and functional studies supported its role in Th2 cell activation
Biswas et al., J Exp Med 2012
(Autoimmune Diseases...) :
In
CD4 ( + ) T helper cells,
IRF4 plays an essential role in the regulation of IL-21 production, whereas in B cells it controls class switch recombination and plasma cell differentiation
