immune system
• lambda 2 (Igl-2+) splenic B cells represent 65-79% of mu (Igh-6) positive B cells in 4 day old mice, decreasing to 48-56% by 70 days
• level of lambda 1 (Igl-1+) splenic B cells in transgenic mice is much lower than controls and remains low
• kappa (Igk+) splenic B cells are reduced to 33-39% of B cells in 4 day old mice
• the percentage if Igk+ cells increases with age, but does not reach the same level as controls (90%)
|
• slight decrease in number of IgM+ B cells in spleen
