Abstract excerpt
Our previous investigation of a patient (pt1) with non-X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome revealed a CD40-mediated defect in B cell activation that resulted in low CD23 expression and absence of germ-line transcription and class-switch recombination. These deficiencies were complemented in vitro by a high threshold of sustained signaling through CD40. To further analyze the signaling defect in pt1 B cells,...
