Facts about CD320 antigen.
Plasma membrane protein that is expressed on follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and mediates interaction with germinal centre B cells (PubMed:10727470). Functions as costimulator to promote B cell responses to antigenic stimulation; promotes B cell differentiation and proliferation (PubMed:10727470, PubMed:11418631).
