Why this annotation

Mixed activation/survival module with TNF-family cytokine and receptors (LTA, TNFRSF8/CD30), apoptosis regulators (BCL2L1, CFLAR, TNIP2), IL21R, KCNN4 (T-cell activation K+ channel), PTPN7, CD82. Strong inflammation upregulation. Represents an inflammatory activation/survival program in CD4 T cells (LTA, IL21R, TNFRSF8) consistent with chronic effector activation in IBD.
