CD30

CD30 is a protein found on the surface of certain immune cells, particularly those involved in the body’s response to infections and diseases. It plays a role in activating these immune cells, helping the body fight off illnesses. CD30 is also important in some types of cancer, especially Hodgkin lymphoma and certain other lymphomas, where its presence can be used as a marker for diagnosis and treatment. Researchers have developed therapies that target CD30 to treat these cancers, leveraging its role to help attack the cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones.
