Furthermore, the expression of all well-established costimulatory molecules, including CD40, CD54, CD80, CD83, CD86, 4-1BB, GITR (glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein), OX40L, and SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule), was downregulated in DC-tumor fusion cells. The gene discussed is CD83; the disease is neoplasm.
