Interaction of 4-1BB (CD137) and its ligand (4-1BBL) is thought to
positively regulate cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. We have
prepared transgenic mouse strains that express 4-1BBL cDNA under the
control of MHC class II I-E
promoter. The 4-1BBL-transgenic mice
show progressive splenomegaly and selective depletion of
B220+ B cells accompanied with low levels of circulating
IgG and defective humoral responses to Ag challenge. In addition,
splenocytes from the transgenic mice fail to provide stimulation for
allogeneic T cells in both lymphoproliferative and CTL responses in
vitro, whereas their T cells remain functionally normal. Our results
reveal unexpected functions of 4-1BBL in the regulation of humoral
immune responses and Ag presentation.
