immune system
• rescue of nonproductive VH DH JH rearrangements and repertoire of IgH chains are performed by VH replacement or direct VH to DH joining
• frequency of joints in mature B cells that have undergone by VH replacement that contain the extra arginine that would be generated at the junction as well as the arginine encoded at the 3' end of the D23stop allele is only 12%, indicating that counterselection of complementarity region 3s rich in positively charged amino acids occurs
• VH replacement and direct VH to DH joining compete inefficiently with canonical VDJ recombination in pro-B cell development in 4 week old mice
|
• there is a reduction in immature (IgM+B220lo) B cells in the bone marrow of young mutants
|
• a partial block in transition of pro-B cells to pre-B cells is observed; an accumulating corresponding to ~3-fold increase in absolute numbers of pro-B cells occurs
• there is a reduction in immature (IgM+B220lo) and mature (IgM+B220hi) B cells in the bone marrow of young mutants
|
• mice generate reduced B cell numbers (~5 million/spleen) compared to wild-type (25 million/spleen)
• one third are typical mature follicular B cells and there is substantial accumulation of marginal zone B cells
|
• there is a reduction in mature (IgM+B220hi) B cells in the bone marrow of young mutants
