abstract：:CD137 ligand (CD137L) is expressed on APCs and crosslinks CD137, a powerful costimulatory molecule on T cells during cognate interactions, and thereby greatly enhances immune responses. We report that CD137 can be transferred from activated T cells and from tumor cells that express CD137 to other cells via trogocytosi...
