immune system
• B cells activated in vitro with LPS and IL-4 have a 95% reduction in IgG1 class switch recombination for the mutant 129P2/OlaHsd allele
• absence of class switching in these cultures leads to a doubling in the percentage of B cells expressing IgM from the 129P2/OlaHsd allele
• IgG1 class switch recombination for the wild-type C57BL/6 allele is normal in these cultures
|
• sera levels of IgG1 expressed from the mutant 129P2/OlaHsd allele (IgG1a) is 2% of that in controls
• no antigen specific IgG1a antibodies are detected in mice after immunization with NP antigen compared to high levels in controls
• sera levels of IgG1 expressed from the wild-type C57BL/6 allele (IgG1b) is normal
