Extended Data Fig. 7. Generation and characterization of hD3-3/JH6 mice.

Extended Data Fig. 7

a, Illustration of genetic modifications in hD3-3/JH6 mice (not drawn to scale) with hD3-3 and hJH6 segments replacing mouse DQ52 and JH1-4 segments. Sequences of hD3-3 (in red), JH6 (in blue) and flanking regions are shown below the diagram. b, Characterization of B220+ B cell and CD3+ T cell populations among lymphocyte/live cell/single cells from homozygous D3-3/J6 mouse spleens by flow cytometry compared to a wild-type 129SVE mouse (WT). c, Characterization of IgM+IgDhi naïve B cells among B cells as in b. d, Characterization of CD23hiCD21low follicular (FO) B cells and CD23lowCD21hi marginal zone (MZ) B cells among lymphocyte/live cell/single cell/B220+CD93low mature B cells, as in b. e, Characterization of Igk+ and Igl+ B cells among B cells as in b. f, Fraction of productive IgH rearrangements that contain hD3-3 or mouse D (mD), based on repertoire analysis of three homozygous hD3-3/JH6 mice. The hD3-3 usage value represents average ± standard deviation. Since hJH6 is the sole JH segment in homozygous hD3-3/JH6 mice, all V(D)J recombination events contain hJH6. Therefore, 16.3% productive rearrangements in homozygous hD3-3/JH6 mice contain both hD3-3 and hJH6. g, HCDR3 length distribution of productive IgH rearrangements that contain hD3-3 and JH6 as in f. Error bars indicate SD of three independent mice.
