Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) elicits multiple biological effects through two distinct cell surface receptors, TNF-R1 (p55) and TNF-R2 (p75). Most TNF-mediated biological responses, such as cell death, gene induction, antiviral activity and cytokine production, have been attributed to TNF-R1 (refs 1-5). Gene targeting of this receptor confirms its role in the lethality attributable to low doses of lipopolysaccharide after sensitization with D-galactosamine; surprisingly, the toxicity of high doses of lipopolysaccharide was unaffected. The function of TNF-R2 is less well understood, although there are data supporting a role in T-cell development and the proliferation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. To clarify the physiological role of TNF-R2, we have generated mice deficient in this receptor by gene targeting. The TNF-R2-/- mice show normal T-cell development and activity, but we find that they have increased resistance to TNF-induced death. Additionally, such mice injected subcutaneously with TNF show a dramatic decrease in tissue necrosis, indicating that this receptor plays a role in the necrotic effects of TNF.

D012867 Skin The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment. It is composed of the DERMIS and the EPIDERMIS.
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.
