Background Information
The CD40 ligand (CD40L, TRAP, CD154), a member of the TNF superfamily of ligands, is expressed as either a 33 kDa transmembrane homologue or an 18 kDa soluble form (sCD154). CD40L is primarily expressed on activated CD4+ T cells and a small proportion of CD8+ T cells and platelets. It binds to CD40 on antigen-presenting cells (APC), which leads to many effects depending on the target cell type. Recent studies have suggested that CD40/CD40L interactions regulate oxidative stress and affect various signaling pathways in both the immunological and the cardiovascular systems. The CD40/CD40L system is also involved in tumorigenesis.
