i wonder....
CD40 recetors are present on B lymphocyes...but,
CD 40 L, that is CD 40 Ligand is situated on naive T cells...
this what i remember,
can some one express in better way....

Yeah i was thinking it C too.....will see! grin

D

CD40 ligand (CD154) is expressed on the surface of the CD4 + T cells as a consequence of the activation that follows the binding of peptide + MHC class II to the TCR.

What about CD40?
On B or T cells?

Also were CD 28?

  #9

naive cells are activated T cells not resting ones....
mytime got me wrong....
i didnt say answer was C...
it was D....

  #10

and i feel CD 40 is on B cells while CD 40L on naive T cells.
NNL, plz clear this doubt also....

  #11

Yup, CD 40 is on B cells and CD40 ligand (CD154 ) on the activated T cells. CD40 binds to CD154 and is critical for B cell maturation and secretion of IgG, IgA or IgE . Patients with mutations of CD154 make predominantly IgM and have an immunodeficiency called X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.

Epica , CD28 is expressed on T-cells and it is a receptor for co-stimulatory molecule B7.
