CD40 is a member of the TNF receptor family expressed by APCs and B cells whereas its ligand, CD40L (CD154), is expressed by activated T cells.
CD40 – CD40L Pathway


CD40 is a member of the TNF receptor family expressed by APCs and B cells whereas its ligand, CD40L (CD154), is expressed by activated T cells.

Glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein is an activating receptor on the surface of T cells and other immune cells, binding to its ligand GITRL.

CD137 is an activating receptor binding to CD137L, expressed on natural killer (NK) cells & T cells, therefore triggering innate & adaptive immunity.

T cell immunoglobulin & mucin-3 (TIM-3; HAVcr-2) is an immune checkpoint receptor involved in the suppression of both innate & adaptive immune cells.

ICOS/ICOSL signalling leads to the activation, proliferation and survival of cytotoxic T cells, as well as the survival of memory T cells.

The PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-L2 signalling pathway is a negative regulatory mechanism that inhibits T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
