Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textAs germinal centers develop, Tfh cells progressively increase Il-4 production while maintaining Il-21 production, which acts with Cd40l to promote differentiation of antibody secreting B cells (Weinstein et al. 2016). Tfh cells secrete almost all of the Il4 found in lymph nodes (Reinhardt et al. 2009, King and Mohrs 2009). Batf, Irf4, Stat3, and Stat6 bind the conserved non-coding sequence 2 (CNS2) of the Il4 gene and activate transcription (Sahoo et al. 2015). The receptor Slamf1 (CD150) is required for expression of Il4 in Tfh cells (Yusuf et al. 2010).
