immune system
• 5-fold increase in the number of these cells isolated from the peritoneal cavity
• 2-fold increase in numbers of these cells in spleens of 2 week old mice
• no difference in number B-1a cells in adult spleen
|
• 4-fold expansion in the number of B-1a cell progenitors (CD19-positive, B220-low) in the bone marrow of adults
• bone marrow from mutant mice is twice as efficient in reconstituting the entire B cell compartment of irradiated recipient mice
|
• serum levels of IgM are 5-10 fold higher than normal
