Research progress in OX40/OX40L in allergic diseases

OX40/OX40L are costimulatory molecules in the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. Numerous studies have shown that OX40/OX40L are involved in immune regulation, especially in the proliferation and differentiation of T cells and the generation of memory T cells, which play important roles in allergic diseases. In recent years, the use of OX40/OX40L as therapeutic targets for treating T-cell-mediated diseases has attracted the interest of scholars. This paper reviews the role of OX40/OX40L in allergic diseases and the progress in clinical treatments targeting this signaling pathway.
