Background

The OX40 ligand (OX40L) is also named as TNFSF4, CD252, Glycoprotein Gp34 and TXGP1. It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family. OX40L is a costimulatory molecules that is mainly expressed on APCs, including mature DCs, B cells, and macrophages. OX40L interacts with OX40 (also CD134) that is preferentially expressed on activated CD4 T cells. OX40L expression in DCs is up-regulated by several stimulatory signalings, including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), CD40, PAMPs, and IFN-α. Of note, IgE-Ag complex-activated mast cells up-regulate the expression of OX40L, and interactions between OX40L on mast cells and OX40 on T cells is required for T cell proliferation.
