You have generated a knockout mouse that does not express CD40.  Upon stimulation with a T-dependent antigen, do you expect this mouse to be able to:

Secrete IgG antibodies specific for your antigen?


Secrete antigen-specific antibodies that have undergone class switching?


Thank you.

CD40 is a co-stimulatory protein found on antigen presenting cells and is required for their activation. The binding of CD154 (CD40L) on T=helper cells to CD40 activates antigen presenting cells and induces a variety of downstream effects.
