BBa_S03494 1 BBa_S03494 CD154 (CD40 Ligand) 2006-05-18T11:00:00Z 2015-05-08T01:14:23Z CD154 is a protein that is normally expressed on the surface of T cells. It regulates B cell function by ligating to CD40, a receptor on the B cell surface. Stimulation of CD40 with CD154 promotes the proliferation and differentiation of naive B lymphocytes into plasma and memory B cells, facilitating a humoral response. The CD154-CD40 interaction generally also results in the upregulation of costimulatory molecules, the activation of antigen presenting cells, the priming of T cells, and the activation of T cell mediated effector functions. The CD154 protein provides us with a tool for stimulating the immune system, a mechanism that can be used to learn more about the specific interactions in the humoral response system and also to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy. false false _89_ 0 621 89 Not in stock false false Kalvin Kao BBa_S03494_sequence 1 actttgacagtcttctcatgctgcctctgccaccttctctgccagaagataccatttcaactttaacacagcatgatcgaaacatacaaccaaacttctccccgatctgcggccactggactgcccatcagcatgaaaatttttatgtatttacttactgtttttcttatcacccagatgattgggtcagcactttttgctgtgtatcttcatagaaggttggacaagatagaagatgaaaggaatcttcatgaagattttgtattcatgaaaacgatacagagatgcaacacaggagaaagatccttatccttactgaactgtgaggagattaaaagccagtttgaaggctttgtgaaggatataatgttaaacaaagaggagacgaagaaagaaaacagctttgaaatgcaaaaaggtgatcagaatcctcaaattgcggcacatgtcataagtgaggccagcagtaaaacaacatctgtgttacagtgggctgaaaaaggatactacaccatgagcaacaacttggtaaccctggaaaatgggaaacagctgaccgttaaaagacaaggactctattatatctatgcccaagtcaccttctgttccaatcgggaagcttcgagtcaagctccatttatagccagcctctgcctaaagtcccccggtagattcgagagaatcttactcagagctgcaaatacccacagttccgccaaaccttgcgggcaacaatccattcacttgggaggagtatttgaattgcaaccaggtgcttcggtgtttgtcaatgtgactgatccaagccaagtgagccatggcactggcttcacgtcctttggcttactcaaactctgaacagtgtcaccttgcaggctgtggtggagctgacgctgggagtcttcataatacagcacagcggttaagcccaccccctgttaactgcctatttataaccctaggatcctccttatggagaactatttattatacactccaaggcatgtagaactgtaataagtgaattacaggtcacatgaaaccaaaacgggccctgctccataagagcttatatatctgaagcagcaaccccactgatgcagacatccagagagtcctatgaaaagacaaggccattatgcacaggttgaattctgagtaaacagcagataacttgccaagttcagttttgtttctttgcgtgcagtgtctttccatggataatgcatttgatttatcagtgaagatgcagaagggaaatggggagcctcagctcacattcagttatggttgactctgggttcctatggccttgttggagggggccaggctctagaacgtctaacacagtggagaaccgaaaccccccccccccgccaccctctcggacagttattcattctctttcaatctctctctctccatctctctctttcagtctctctctctcaacctctttcttccaatctctctttctcaatctctctgtttccctttgtcagtctcttccctcccccagtctctcttctcaatccccctttctaacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacagagtcaggccgttgctagtcagttctcttctttccaccctgtccctatctctaccactatagatgagggtgaggagtagggagtgcagccctgagcctgcccactcctcattacgaaatgactgtatttaaaggaaatctattgtatctacctgcagtctccattgtttccagagtgaacttgtaattatcttgttatttattttttgaataataaagacctcttaacattaagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa igem2sbol 1 iGEM to SBOL conversion Conversion of the iGEM parts registry to SBOL2.1 Chris J.
