CD70 is the unique ligand of CD27 and is expressed on immune cells only upon activation. Therefore, engagement of the costimulatory CD27/CD70 pathway is solely dependent on upregulation of CD70. However, the T cell-intrinsic effect and function of human CD70 remain underexplored. Herein, we describe that CD70 expression distinguishes proinflammatory CD4<sup>+</sup> T lymphocytes that display an increased potential to migrate into the central nervous system (CNS). Upregulation of CD70 on CD4<sup> ...[more]
