hematopoietic system
• mice lack IgG1-bearing memory B cells
|
• mutants immunized with NP-CG produce strongly impaired primary and secondary IgG1 responses, about one order of magnitude below the controls
• affinity maturation of IgG1 antibodies in the course of the response is less efficient in mutants
|
• serum NP-specific IgG1 concentration is reduced by a factor of 24 in mutants immunized with a T cell-dependent antigen, chicken gamma-globulin coupled to 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-phenylacetyl (NP-CG)
