Hypothetical mechanisms by which platelet membrane CD40/CD40L and soluble CD40L might regulate interactions between immune cells. Platelets can interact with numerous immune cells such as B cells, T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, endothelial cells, natural killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells (DC). Interactions with these cells can induce numerous immune-related events as shown. Th, T-helper; Treg, regulatory T cell.
