• mutant B cells undergo class-switching, maturation and somatic hypermutation
• double mutants show a significantly higher percentage (15.6%) of peripheral blood cells that bind hen egg lysozyme (HEL) compared to wild-type (0.016%) or Ightm1Cys knock-in mice (1.06%)
• about 70% of total B cells are HEL-binding

• when germinal center B cells from these mice are transferred to wild-type recipients that are then immunized with duck egg lysozyme conjugated with ovalbumin, the Ightm1Cys, Tg(Igk)5Cys GC B cells undergo apparently normal class switching, maturation and somatic hypermutation
• class switching to IgG2a and IgG2b is observed by day 7 after immunization
• an increased number of somatic hypermutations are detected as the germinal center response progressed as is selection for particular mutations by day 14
