Similar proliferation of IA7 and BALB/c bone marrow B cell subsets. To determine the fraction of cycling bone marrow B cells, nine BALB/c and eight IA7 littermates were fed with BrdU for 2 d. Bone marrow cells were analyzed flow cytometrically by acquiring 3 × 104 cells stained for B220 and IgM as described in the legend to Fig. 2, and after permeabilization with an FITC-labeled anti-BrdU antibody. In both groups of mice pre-B (IgM B220low), immature (IgM+ B220low) BALB/c, and mature (IgM+/low B220high) bone marrow B cells incorporated similar amounts of BrdU, indicating comparable proliferation rates. Similar results were obtained when we used ID4 instead of IA7 transgenic mice.
