Summary of the effects of CD40 ligation on the panel of ovarian carcinoma cell lines

Growth inhibitionApoptosis inductionIL-6 productionIL-8 productionNF-κB activationJNK activation
The induction of apoptosis was determined by recombinant soluble CD40 ligand treatment in the presence of cycloheximide (CHX). Note that the OAW-28 cell line was extremely sensitive to CHX alone and that this precluded determination of the effect of CD40 ligation. IL, interleukin; JNK, c-jun N-terminal kinase.
