Figure 7.

Persistent clonal loss of VHT15 and clan III–expressing peritoneal B-1 cells. In each multigroup study, naive, SpA- or control protein-treated mice were included, with comparisons to naive BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Mice were treated as neonates, and then evaluated 7–21 wk later in microfluorimetric assays. Representative results from studies of T15i mice (A) peritoneal cavity and (B) splenic mononuclear cells are displayed. For these analyses, gates were set so that <0.8% of C57BL/6 (IgMb)B220+ cells were reactive with the IgMa-specific reagent. Representative results are shown from the (C) peritoneal cells of matched groups of TCR-β2/2δ2/2 mice, evaluated 16 wk after the last exposure. In these results, control mice were treated with HEL, with equivalent findings in control β-galactosidase–treated mice (not shown). For each B cell subset, the IgMa or LJ-26 reactivity was used to derive the percentages representative of clan VHIII–expressing B cells.
