:
Thus, CD40 mediated IL-6 induction is independent of NF-kappaB activation and the binding of TRAF2 and -3, but CD40 must be engaged by trimeric CD154 on cell membranes to activate production of IL-6

TRAF activation of C/EBPbeta ( NF-IL6 ) via p38 MAPK induces HIV-1 gene expression in monocytes/macrophages

(Glomerulonephritis...) :
Knockdown TRAF-2 by siRNA significantly suppressed soluble AIgG induced up-regulation of TRAF-2, IL-1beta, and IL-6
