Single cell analysis of J chain expression in secretory B cells from wt mice. (A) RT-PCR analysis of J chain and secretory versus membrane bound IgM expression in two different murine cell lines and in LPS-stimulated total splenocytes representing different differential stages of B cell development. 230–238 represents a pre-B, A20 represents a mature B cell, and the LPS-stimulated total spleen represents the plasma cell stage. (B) Summary of single cell RT-PCR analysis of J chain and secretory IgM transcripts in LPS-stimulated splenic B cells. (C) Example of experimental data showing one example of a single cell expressing only secretory IgM and of a single cell expressing both J chain and secretory IgM. HPRT is used as a cDNA control.
