Figure 4.
Splenic B cells from ape1+/−, ape2Y/−, and DBL mice proliferate normally upon CSR induction. Splenic B cells were stained with CFSE and cultured for 3 d with LPS plus IL-4 and analyzed by FACS. (A) Overlay CFSE histograms of ex vivo B cells immediately after CFSE staining and after 3 d of stimulation are shown. CFSE fluorescence is represented by red profiles for WT splenic B cells, and by blue profiles for ape1+/−, ape2Y/−, and DBL splenic B cells. (B) Computational integration of the level of CFSE fluorescence in B cells stimulated for IgG1 switching. The numbers of cell divisions are given above the CFSE peaks.
