CD40 signaling drives B lymphocytes into an intermediate memory-like state, poised between naïve and plasma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Immunological memory comprising of antigen-specific B and T cells contributes to the acquisition of long-term resistance to pathogens. Interactions between CD40 on B cells and CD40L on T cells are responsible for several aspects of acquired immune responses including generation of memory B cells. In order to gain insights into events leading to memory B cell formation, we analyzed the genome-wide expression...
