B-cell Activation: Co-stimulation, Class Switching, and Maturation Capture from Book

  1. CD40 receptor on B cell binds CD40 ligand (CD40L) on Th cell.
  2. Th cells secrete cytokines that determine Ig class switching of B cells.
  3. B cells are activated and produce IgM. They undergo class switching and affinity maturation.
