Abstract excerpt
In order to mount an effective antibody response to soluble and certain other types of antigens, B cells need help from T cells. Recently, an important receptor-ligand pair has been identified as essential for successful cognate interaction between these two classes of lymphocytes. CD40 was first identified as a receptor-like molecule on B cells which when ligated by antibody could deliver signals to prime for...
