Figure 1. Analysis of MZ and FO B cells following Mx-Cre-induced RBP-J deletion.

Figure 1

Mice with genotypes of Cre/RBP-Jf/+, 3B4/Cre/RBP-Jf/+, Cre/RBP-Jf/f and 3B4/Cre/RBP-Jf/f were compared. Deletion of the floxed RBP-J exons was induced through the injection of poly(I:C); mice were then sacrificed and subjected to MZ and FO B cell analysis by FCM. The cells were first gated by anti-CD19 and then CD21 and CD23 expression was utilized to discriminate between FO (CD19+CD21intCD23hi) and MZ B (CD19+CD21hiCD23lo) cells. The numbers denote the percentages of cells in the indicated squares. Data are representative of five independent experiments.
