TNF mediated inflammation is critical in autoimmune mediated pathology, however many patients are refractory to current anti-TNF therapeutics. Here the authors show induction of several death ligands, in addition to TNF is sufficient to cause fatal dermatitis in a LUBAC deficient murine model of disease.
