Abstract excerpt
Costimulatory interactions between T and B lymphocytes are crucial for T cell activation and B cell proliferation and differentiation. We have compared the roles of CD40L and B7-2 in the initiation and maturation of humoral immunity by administering anti-CD40 ligand (L) or anti-B7-2 Ab during the...
