Memory B cell development but not germinal center formation is impaired by in vivo blockade of CD40-CD40 ligand interaction

To study the role of the CD40-CD40 ligand interaction in the development of memory B cells and its level of action during primary antibody responses in vivo, mice were injected with a soluble CD40 fusion protein (sCD40-gamma 1), so as to block the interaction. The effects of the treatment on the pri...
