Human CD40

CD40 is a glycoprotein important for T-B lymphocytes interactions. The ligand for CD40 is CD154 (CD40L). The function of CD40 is involved in growth, differentiation, and isotype-switching on B cells and also involved to rescue B cells from apoptosis. CD40 is a 48kD type I single chain trans- membrane glycoprotein expressed on normal and neoplastic B cells, but not on terminally differentiated plasma cells. CD40 antigen is also present on Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells, follicular dendritic cells, some macrophages, basal epithelial cells and endothelial cells.
