Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 4 (TNFRSF4), also known as CD134 and OX40 receptor, is a member of the

OX40L, is also not expressed on resting antigen presenting cells, but is following their activation. Expression of OX40 is dependent on full activation of the T cell; without CD28
, expression of OX40 is delayed and of fourfold lower levels.

Function

OX40 has no effect on the proliferative abilities of

Th2 mediated reactions in vivo
.

OX40 binds

CTLA-4 is down-regulated following OX40 engagement in vivo and the OX40-specific TRAF3 DN defect was partially overcome by CTLA-4 blockade in vivo. TRAF3 may be linked to OX40-mediated memory T cell
expansion and survival, and point to the down-regulation of CTLA-4 as a possible control element to enhance early T cell expansion through OX40 signaling.

Clinical significance

OX40 has been implicated in the

]

As a drug or drug target

An artificially created biologic

immunoglobulin (OX40-Ig), prevents OX40 from reaching the T-cell receptors, thus reducing the T-cell response. Experiments in mice have demonstrated that OX40-Ig can reduce the symptoms associated with the cytokine storm (an immune overreaction) while allowing the immune system to fight off the virus successfully.[citation needed

An anti-OX40 antibody GSK3174998 has started clinical trials as a cancer treatment.

TLR9 ligand activates expression of OX40 so that it can be affected.[5]
