CD21 is expressed strongly on mature B cells, follicular dendtritic cells and weakly on immaturethymocytes and T lymphocytes. In B-cell ontogeny, CD21 appears after the pre-B-stage, is maintained during peripheral B-cell development and is lost upon terminal differentiation into plasma cells. CD21 expression is also gradually lost after stimulation of B cells in vitro. CD21 functions as receptor for C3d, C3dg and iC3b Complement components, for EBV and for IFN-alpha. CD21 binds to CD23 and associates with CD19, CD81 and Leu13 to form alarge signal-transduction complex involved in B cell activation.
