κ and λ expression in spleen cells of mice with H chain of different DNA binding affinities. (A) Spleen cells from BALB/c, 3H9, 3H9H/56R, 3H9H/56R/76R sd-tg mice were stained with anti-κ and -λ. Cells were gated on a lymphoid gate, and percentages of κ+, λ+, and κ/λ+ are indicated. (B) 3H9H/56R mice have a large population of κ/λ double-positive B cells. Spleen cells from 3H9H/56R and the nontransgenic littermate were stained with anti-B220, κ, and λ. Dead cells were excluded by propidium iodide staining. Percentages of κ+, λ+, and κ/λ+ cells in a B220+ gate are indicated. Representative of experiments using three different mice of each kind. (C) Surface IgM expression of κ/λ double-positive B cells are higher than most of the κ single-positive B cells in 3H9H/56R mice. Histograms of IgM expression are shown for the κ/λ double-positive (R4 and thin line) and κ single-positive (R5 and bold line) population.
