hematopoietic system
• B cell development is halted at pre-B cell stage, indicated by lack of CD25+ B-cells
|
• in bone marrow and spleen, mature (B220+) B lymphocytes are lacking
|
• no Ig's are detected in the serum of mutants compared to wild-type or Igh-6tm1Cgn mice

• B cell development is halted at pre-B cell stage, indicated by lack of CD25+ B-cells
|
• in bone marrow and spleen, mature (B220+) B lymphocytes are lacking
|
• transcription of rearranged heavy chains is absent in mutants, despite apparently normal DNA rearrangement
|
• no Ig's are detected in the serum of mutants compared to wild-type or Igh-6tm1Cgn mice
