Abstract excerpt
The interaction between CD40 and its ligand CD40L plays a key role in the regulation of B cell proliferation, activation, isotype switching and the humoral memory response. APE/Ref-1 plays a key role in transcriptional responses during CD40-mediated B cell activation. It is demonstrated that CD40 signaling is mediated principally through TRAF adapter proteins. Different TRAFs exhibit specific biological functions...
