CD40 ligand is a T cell growth factor.

Abstract:

:CD40 ligand (CD40L) is a 33-kDa type II membrane glycoprotein induced on T cells upon activation. CD40L has previously been shown to induce proliferation of resting B cells, immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion from B cells cultured with cytokines and cytokine secretion and tumoricidal activity from monocytes. In this report CD40L is shown to be stimulatory for human T cells, inducing CD25 (p55 IL-2R) and CD40L expression on resting peripheral blood T cells, enhanced expression of these molecules and CD69 on CD3-activated cells and secretion of interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin (IL)-2 from T cells cultured in the presence of a sub-mitogenic concentration of phytohemagglutinin A (PHA). Furthermore, stimulation with CD40L induces proliferation of CD3- or PHA-activated T cells of blood, tonsillar or thymic origin. A similar proliferative response is observed with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and this effect is largely IL-2 independent. A soluble construct of the extracellular domain of the CD40L has similar activity to that of membrane-expressed ligand in the induction of T cell surface antigens and proliferation. The results presented here taken together with the various activities ascribed for CD40L on B cells and monocytes demonstrate that CD40L has pleiotropic biological activity for cells of the hemopoietic lineage.
