Mutant mice without B lymphocyte follicles
T he immune system requires the cognate interactions of T cells, B cells, and antigen-presenting cells to respond to invading antigens/pathogens. However, the peripheral lymphoid organs where immune responses occur are not simply made of a random mixture of T cells, B cells, and antigen-presenting cells. Rather they are organized into ruicroanatomic compartments that are composed mainly of T ce...
متن کاملEnforced bcl-xL gene expression restored splenic B lymphocyte development in BAFF-R mutant mice.
The TNFR family member BAFF-R facilitates peripheral B cell development, although it is unclear whether it promotes survival of B cells, or also initiates a differentiation program. We show that disruption of the BAFF-R encoding gene Tnfrsf13c in strain A/WySnJ mice causes a progressive decline in peripheral B cell numbers, beginning at the transitional 1 developmental stage and continuing thro...
متن کاملIII . X - LINKED B - LYMPHOCYTE DEFECT IN CBA / N MICE Abnormal Development of B - Lymphocyte
A substantial heterogeneity exists in the amount of immunoglobulin (Ig) on the surface of bone marrow-derived (B) lymphocytes as measured by labeling these cells with fluorescein-conjugated (F1) 1 anti-Ig and analyzing them by the technique of rapid flow microfluorometry (RFMF). Ig-bearing lymphocytes from neonatal mouse spleen and from adult mouse bone marrow are very diverse populations when ...
متن کاملB lymphocyte-specific, Cre-mediated mutagenesis in mice.
Adaptation of the P1 phage-derived Cre /loxP site- specific recombination system to the gene targeting technique allows for the conditional deletion of genes in mice. To selectively modify genes in B lymphocytes, we have generated mice (designated CD19-Cre) which express cre under the transcriptional control of the B lineage-restricted CD19 gene. In a model system involving the cross of CD19-Cr...
متن کاملB-lymphocyte deficiency increases atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-null mice.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by innate and adaptive immune responses. We investigated the role of B cells and antibodies in the development of atherosclerosis in low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (LDLR(-/-)) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Using wild-type and B cell-deficient mice as bone marrow donors, we were able to generate LDLR(-/-) mice tha...
