CD40L-deficient mice show deficits in antiviral immunity and have an impaired memory CD8+ CTL response.
The ligand for CD40 (CD40L) is expressed on the surface of activated CD4+ T cells and its role in T-B cell collaborations and thymus-dependent humoral immunity is well established. Recently, by generating CD40L-knockout mice, we have confirmed its previously described role in humoral immunity and de...
