Direct T Cell Activation via CD40 Ligand Generates High Avidity CD8(+) T Cells Capable of Breaking Immunological Tolerance for the Control of Tumors

CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L) are costimulatory molecules that play a pivotal role in the proinflammatory immune response. Primarily expressed by activated CD4(+) T cells, CD40L binds to CD40 on antigen presenting cells (APCs), thereby inducing APC activation. APCs, in turn, prime cytotoxic T lymphoc...
