Intestinal CD21CD23 IgM+ B cells are not associated with B1 lineage cell. (A) RAG1 KO mice that had been reconstituted with peritoneal B1 cells from WT mice were treated with 4% DSS for 4 d and killed at day 8. The DSS-treated recipient mice show sufficient reconstitution of CD11blow IgM+ B 1 cells in the peritoneal cavity (PC, left), whereas no IgM+ B cells are detectable in the inflamed mucosa (LP, right) of these mice. The data are representative of four individual recipient mice. (B–D) Intestinal inflammation was induced in WT (Day 0, n = 6; Day 8, n = 6), Rac2 KO (Day 0, n = 5; Day 8, n = 5), and IL-7Rα KO (Day 0, n = 5; Day 8, n = 5) mice by oral administration of 4% DSS for 4 d. Proportion (IgM/CD3ε) at day 8 (B) and absolute number of IgM+ cells in the large intestine at day 0 (normal, open bar) and day 8 (recovery, shaded bar; C) are shown. The large intestine from IL-7Rα KO mice at day 8 was subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for detection of IgM+ cells (D). Presence of statistical significance (P < 0.001) compared with day 8 WT mice is indicated by **. Bars, 100 μm.
