Immunopharmacology Comments

CD40 is a stimulatory receptor and a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). It is expressed on a variety of immune cells, including macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells (DCs). CD40 plays a key role in the activation of the immune system. Endogenous ligand is CD154 (CD40L) on TH cells. CD40 is an immunotherapy and immuno-oncology clinical target. Anti-CD40 agonistic monoclonal antibodies that induce activation and proliferation of effector and memory T cells, and enhance the immune response against tumour cells, are in clinical development.
