Multiple local perturbations can induce Breg cells, which include hypoxia, acidosis, lipid metabolites and tumor exosomes (31–38), cytokines like IL-35, IL-21, IL-1β, IL-6 (39–42), Ca2+ influx (43), and activation of surface molecules including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), CD40 and B-cell receptors (BCRs) (40, 41, 44–46). Here, CD40 is linked to neoplasm.
