The interaction between the T cell activation antigen gp39 and CD40, its receptor CD40 on B cells, plays a critical role in the regulation of humoral immune responses. Using a detailed three-dimensional model of the gp39 extracellular region, we have analyzed 20 mutations in gp39 that were, with one exception, isolated from patients with X-linked hyper IgM (XHIM) syndrome. On the basis of this analysis, the...
