B cell proliferation and Ig production after stimulation in vitro. Small dense B cells were prepared from the spleens of WT, TNF−/−, and TNF/LTα−/− mice and incubated in vitro with baculo-CD40L and varying doses of IL-4. (A) After 3 d, cell proliferation was measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation. (B) B cells were incubated for 7 d with baculo-CD40L and 100 U/ml IL-4. Concentrations of secreted IgM, IgG1, and IgE in the supernatant were measured by ELISA. Histograms in A and B depict mean ± 1 SD of triplicate determinations and are representative of two independent experiments.
