Rainbow Trout IgM+ B Cells Preferentially Respond to Thymus-Independent Antigens but Are Activated by CD40L

In the absence of class switch recombination and germinal centers, the mechanisms through which B cells from teleost fish mount extrafollicular immunoglobulin M (IgM) memory responses remains mostly unexplored. In this report, we demonstrate that teleost IgM+ B cells respond to CD40L, a thymus-depen...
