- We demonstrate that the a. chain of human C4b binding protein (C4BP) binds directly to CD40 on human B cells at a site that differs from that used by CD40 ligand. C4BP induces proliferation, upregulation of CD54 and CD86 expression, and IL4-dependent IgE isotype switching in normal B cells but not in B cells from patients with CD40 or IKKgamma/NEMO deficiencies. Furthermore, C4BP colocalized with B cells in the germinal centers of human tonsils. These observations suggest that C4BP is an activating ligand for CD40 and establish a novel interface between complement and B cell activation.

- Mice with hypomorphic mutations in the Rag1 C-terminal domain are a model of leaky combined immunodeficiency with autoantibodies. Hypomorphic C-terminal domain Rag1 mutations cause repertoire skewing at the earliest stages of B- and T-cell development.
