Scientific BackgroundCD40 is a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily and is the receptor for the CD40 ligand (CD40L). CD40 has at least 2 isoforms produced by alternate splicing. Isoform 1 is a single-pass type 1 membrane protein. Isoform 2 is a secreted protein. Microglia and astrocytes interact via the CD40 receptor and CD40 ligand.
