hematopoietic system
• 40-60% of B cells in the spleen produce immunoglobulins that bind hen egg lysozyme antigen (HEL) with high affinity

• all of the B cells found in the peritoneal cavity that bind HEL antigen are of the B-2 lineage as determined by B220hi CD5lowexpression
• there are low levels of anti-HEL IgA in the sera of unimmunized mice
• there are low levels of anti-HEL IgG1 in the sera of unimmunized mice
• there are low levels of anti-HEL IgG2a in the sera of unimmunized mice
• there are low levels of anti-HEL IgG2b in the sera of unimmunized mice
• there are low levels of anti-HEL IgG3 in the sera of unimmunized mice

hematopoietic system
• there is a 2-fold reduction in the number of HEL-specific B cells found in the spleen
• HEL-specific B cells in the spleen have mostly have an immature phenotype
• few HEL-specific B cells in the spleen are found in the follicular region or have surface markers indicative of follicular B cells
• very few HEL-specific B cells in the spleen are found in the marginal zone or have surface markers indicative of the marginal zone phenotype

• few HEL-specific B cells in the spleen are found in the follicular region or have surface markers indicative of follicular B cells
• very few HEL-specific B cells in the spleen are found in the marginal zone or have surface markers indicative of the marginal zone phenotype
• B cells are anergic when stimulated with HEL antigen as determined by reduced antibody production, no upregulation of activation markers CD69 and CD86, and failure to increase size
• these anergic B cells have a short half-life of less than three days
• however, these anergic B cells can proliferate in response to BCR-independent activation

• 5 days following immunization with sheep red blood cell, B cells are observed at reduced frequency in the spleen compared to in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• after activation with HEL-conjugated sheep red blood cell, fewer B cells acquired plasmablasts phenotype compared to in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• B cells fail to display a robust extrafollicular plasmablast response due to reduced migration of responding B cells to the bridging channel and red pulp arrears unlike in Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• however, expression of chemokine receptors is normal
• 1 day after activation with HEL-conjugated sheep red blood cell, B cells do not distribute uniformly along the B-T boundary in the spleen and often migrate deep into T cell areas unlike in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• 3 days after activation with HEL-conjugated sheep red blood cell, B cells fail to move to the poles of the B cell follicles proximal to bridging and interfollicular regions and instead remain localized in central follicular areas proximal to the T cell zone unlike in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• following immunization with sheep red blood cell, B cell proliferation is delayed compared to in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• following activation with HEL-conjugated sheep red blood cell, anti-HEL IgG1 levels are reduced to 10% to 20% of that in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
• following activation with HEL-conjugated sheep red blood cell, anti-HEL IgM levels are reduced to 10% to 20% of that in similarly treated Ightm1Rbr/Ightm1Rbr Tg(IgkHyHEL10)1Rbr mice
