The peritoneal B-1a cell pool is rapidly reduced following splenectomy. (A) Representative FACS® analysis of peritoneal B cells isolated 10 d after splenectomy or sham operation and gated for IgMposMac-1pos cells. A reduction of the CD5posB220dull B-1a population can be seen. (B) Time course of reduction in B-1a cells upon splenectomy. C57BL/6 mice were either splenectomized or sham-operated and the frequency of B220dullCD5posIgMposMac-1pos B-1a cells determined by flow-cytometry at the indicated time points after surgery. At least three splenectomized and two sham-operated mice were examined for each time point, except for sham-operated day 6 where the cell number from only one mouse is shown. (C) Similar time course for B220posCD5negIgMposMac-1pos B-1b cells.
