ox40l and the immune system teams involved in the 3 zones

The ox40 ligand appears on activated cells.  When the T cells finally express ox40 it must determine or verify which of the 3 zones are active.


The cytokines and cytokine receptors delineating the teams 



The ox40L appears as members of a team become activated. Ideally only one team is on at a time.  The T cells which travel between the inflammation and the lymph, talk to the rest of the immune system, and are responsible for telling the B cells which antibody to make verifies which pathway is in progress.

 So what happens in autoimmune disease when 2 of these pathways are activated at the same time on one target tissue: flu virus (cytosol) and e.coli (outside) on the pancreas triggering autoimmune diabetes.

The natural Tregs that focus the pathway reactions are not activated? unclear
