Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Enhances all basic T-cell responses to a foreign antigen, namely proliferation, secretion of lymphokines, up-regulation of molecules that mediate cell-cell interaction, and effective help for antibody secretion by B-cells. Essential both for efficient interaction between T and B-cells and for normal antibody responses to T-cell dependent antigens. Does not up-regulate the production of interleukin-2, but superinduces the synthesis of interleukin-10. Prevents the apoptosis of pre-activated T-cells. Plays a critical role in CD40-mediated class switching of immunoglobin isotypes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11169414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9930702}. |
| Pathway | |
| Protein Families | |
| Tissue Specificity | Activated T-cells. Highly expressed on tonsillar T-cells, which are closely associated with B-cells in the apical light zone of germinal centers, the site of terminal B-cell maturation. Expressed at lower levels in thymus, lung, lymph node and peripheral blood leukocytes. Expressed in the medulla of fetal and newborn thymus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11006126, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11169414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9930702}. |
