BTLA-HVEM cis and trans signaling in different settings. A In resting T cells, BTLA inhibitory signaling plays a predominant role in cis interactions, impeding HVEM-mediated activation. B Upon activation, BTLA-HVEM cis complex is disrupted thus allowing trans interactions between BTLA and HVEM-expressing cells. C In the context of cancer, enhanced BTLA expression on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes increase trans interaction and leads to the inhibition of T cell-mediated antitumor responses
