hm1

• Allelic Composition: Ighm^tm4Bgmn/Ighm^tm4Bgmn
• Genetic Background: involves: 129

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

immune system

decreased immature B cell number ( J:131633 )

• immature B cells in the bone marrow are reduced by 40% to 50%

decreased mature B cell number ( J:131633 )

• B220⁺ IgM⁺ IgD⁺ B cells in the spleen are reduced by 40%

• immunized mice have half the number of B cells in the spleen as immunized wild-type mice

increased B-1 B cell number ( J:131633 )

• CD5⁺ B-1 B cells are greatly increased in the peritoneum

• CD5⁺ B-1 B cells outnumber CD5^- B1-B cells in the peritoneum while the opposite occurs in wild-type mice

• there is about a 3-fold increase of B1-B cells in the spleen and bone marrow

abnormal B cell activation ( J:131633 )

• B cells have poor and delayed calcium mobilization in response to activation

decreased B cell proliferation ( J:131633 )

• LPS induced B cell proliferation is decreased by 50% compared to controls

• BCR-mediated proliferation is 5-fold less than controls

decreased IgM level ( J:131633 )

• some IgM is detectable in the sera of unimmunized mice but these IgM molecules consist of monomer subunits and not the normal pentameric structure

• immunization with antigens leads to a small increase in sera IgM monomers but only to levels 10% that of controls

• these monomer IgM antibodies lack specificity to the antigen used in immunization
