The recovery of the B-cell population in adult thymectomized, lethally irradiated and bone marrow-reconstituted mice. 1975

W B van Muiswinkel, and J J van Beek, and P L van Soest

The recovery of the B-cell population in adult thymectomized, irradiated and bone marrow-reconstituted mice (T X BM mice was estimated at various times after bone marrow transplantation. The spleen cells to be tested were mixed with dexamethasone-resistant thymocytes (DRT) and sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and transferrred to irradiated recipients. The number of plaque-forming cells (PFC) in the spleen of the recipients was determined 7 days later. Using this functional B-cell assay a sequential appearance of the precursors of IgM-, IgG- and IgA-PFC in the spleen of T X BM mice was observed. The precursors of IgM-PFG (IgM-B cells) were present immediately after transplantation. The first IgG-B cells could be detected at 13-16 days after transplantation and the IgA-B cells finally appeared at 22 days after transplantation. The number of B cells reached a constant and normal level at 30 days after transplantation. The IgM-, IgG- and IgA-B cell development in sham-thymectomized, irradiated and bone narrow-reconstituted mice (ST X BM mice) was virtually the same as in T X BM mice.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.
