normal phenotype
• mice are viable, breed with normal Mendelian frequencies, and do not exhibit gross abnormalities

immune system
N |
• bone marrow contains similar numbers of immature and mature B cells to controls
• the mutated residue does not play a critical role in modulating Ig light chain VJ rearrangement, since normal numbers of Iglambda+ B cells are present in spleen
• B cells derived from homozygous mice were not impaired in their ability to undergo class switch recombination
