'''CD153''' (cluster of differentiation 153) also known as '''tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 8''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF8 [[gene]].

CD153 is a [[cytokine]] ligand for the TNF receptor [[CD30]].  It plays a role in the  [[T cell]]-dependent anti-[[mycobacterial]] immune response.<ref name="Marín_2017">{{cite journal | vauthors = Marín ND, García LF | title = The role of CD30 and CD153 (CD30L) in the anti-mycobacterial immune response | journal = Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland) | volume = 102 | issue = | pages = 8–15 | date = January 2017 | pmid = 28061955 | doi = 10.1016/j.tube.2016.10.006 }}</ref>
