hematopoietic system
• no pre-B cell lines can be obtained from Pax5-deficient livers while they are readily established from livers of fetal heterozygous and wild-type livers
• fetal liver cannot support development of early B-lymphoid progenitors
• when fetal liver cells from mutants are transplanted into lethally irradiated hosts however, pre-B cell precursors can be detected in bone marrow of hosts
|
• incidence of V to DJ rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain is reduced 10-fold in Pax5-deficient mice
|
• development is halted at early pro-B cell stage
|
• B cell development is arrested at the early pro-B stage in bone marrow
