“…TRAIL is expressed as cell surface protein, mostly by activated immune cells such as T and B cells [ 181 ], neutrophils [ 182 , 183 , 184 ], dendritic cells [ 185 ], monocytes and macrophages [ 186 , 187 , 188 , 189 , 190 ], natural killer and NKT cells (NK) [ 191 , 192 , 193 , 194 , 195 , 196 , 197 , 198 , 199 , 200 , 201 ]. TRAIL play a crucial role both during viral clearance [ 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 , 207 , 208 , 209 , 210 , 211 , 212 , 213 , 214 ] and tumour immune surveillance [ 215 , 216 , 217 , 218 , 219 , 220 ]. Mechanistically, during innate immunity, NK cells and CTLs (cytotoxic T cells) promote apoptosis of target cells, either by releasing soluble factors such as the cytolytic granules [ 184 , 221 , 222 , 223 ], which contain perforin and granzymes, or by engaging membrane-bound death ligands like FasL or TRAIL [ 200 , 221 , 224 , 225 , 226 , 227 ,…”
