The Expression of CD28 and Its Synergism on the Immune Response of Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) to Thymus-Dependent Antigen

CD28 is well known as a critical T-cell costimulatory receptor involved in T cell activation by binding to its ligands. In this study, CD28 was cloned, and its expression profiles were characterized in flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus); variations of CD28+ cells after being stimulated with different...
