    摘要: A method of modulating immune response in an animal is disclosed. Such a method interacting the immature dendritic cells from the animal with an antigen ex vivo so that the immature dendritic cells present the antigen on their surfaces, inducing maturation of the immature dendritic cells ex vivo, and contacting the mature dendritic cells ex vivo with a modulator comprising TRANCE, conservative variants thereof, fragments thereof, analogs or derivatives thereof, or a fusion protein comprising the amino acid sequence of TRANCE, conservative variants thereof, or fragments thereof. After contacting the modulator ex vivo, the mature dendritic cells are introduced into the animal. As a result, immune response in the animal towards the antigen is modulated relative to the immune response against the antigen in an animal in which dendritic cells did not interact with the antigen ex vivo, and did not contact a modulator ex vivo. Preferably, the method of the present invention results in increasing immune response towards the antigen in the animal.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modulating activity of a TRANCE receptor, including the modulation of TRANCE signaling activity. In particular, the invention provides screening methods by which novel modulators of TRANCE signaling may be identified, including TRANCE inhibitors, agonists and antagonists. The invention also relates to the identification of one or more specific pathways for osteoclast surivival, and the manipulation of this pathway (e.g., using a TRANCE modulator of the invention). Such manipulation may provide strategies for treating osteoclast-related diseases such as osteoporosis and osteopetrosis.
