Abstract

Cloning procedures were used to study B lymphocytes and progenitors of granulocytes and macrophages in NZB mice. Numbers of B cells that were detected in sheep erythrocyte-containing semisolid cultures were only slightly elevated in NZB tissues, and these were normally sensitive to inhibition by anti-mu or anti-delta antibodies or prostaglandin E. However, NZB mice rapidly developed large numbers of B cells that could be cloned in the presence of lipopolysaccharide, and these included unusual anti-mu resistant cells. Numbers of myeloid precursors in NZB bone marrow that were responsive to colony-stimulating activity in L-cell conditioned medium or endotoxin serum were at least normal, but at all ages granulocyte-macrophage precursors were poor responders in cultures stimulated by WEHI-3 cell conditioned medium. Almost no colonies were elicited in NZB cultures with a colony-stimulating activity moiety from WEHI-3 cells. Prostaglandin sensitivity of myeloid precursors from NZB and CBA mice was also different. Codominant genetic control of these abnormalities was suggested by their partial expression in F1 hybrid NZB X CBA and NZB X NZW mice. NZB mice expressed an unexpected IgD allotype allele.
