Aberrant expression of the costimulatory molecule CD40 ligand on monocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Aberrant expression of the costimulatory molecule CD40 ligand on monocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

CD40 ligand (CD40L, CD154) is overexpressed on T and B cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Monocytes have been shown to contribute to immune-mediated pathology in SLE and to express CD40L under certain conditions. Therefore, we studied CD40L expression on lupus monocytes ex vivo, as well as...
