−/− mice were transplanted into lethally irradiated congenic wild-type CD45.1+ mice. Six to eight weeks after transplantation, the recipients were analyzed. a BM cells from the recipients are largely YFP+ donor-derived. Lin−CD45.2+ BM cells from the recipients were analyzed. Numbers indicate percentages of YFP+ cells in the gated live cells. b Both PLCγ1 and PLCγ2 are deleted in YFP+ BM cells from Plcg1

−/− mice. YFP+ BM cells from the recipients were subjected to western blot analysis. c Both PLCγ1 and PLCγ2 are expressed in pro-B cells. Sorted pro- (B220loIgM−CD43+) and FO (B220+IgMloCD23+CD21int) B cells from wild-type mice were subjected to western blot analysis. d BM cells from the recipients were stained with anti-CD45.2, anti-B220, and anti-IgM. Numbers indicate percentages of pro/pre-, immature, and mature B cells in the gated CD45.2+ population. e Bar graphs show the numbers of CD45.2+ pro/pre-, immature, and mature B cells in BM. f BM cells from the recipients were stained with anti-CD45.2, anti-B220, anti-IgM, anti-CD25, and anti-CD43. Numbers indicate percentages of pro-B (upper) and pre-B (lower) cells in the gated CD45.2+B220+IgM− population. g Bar graphs show the numbers of CD45.2+ pro-B cells and pre-B cells in BM. h BM cells from the recipients were stained with anti-CD45.2, anti-B220, anti-CD43, anti-CD24, and anti-BP-1. BM from μMT and Jak3-deficient mice served as the controls. Numbers indicate percentages of pre-pro-B (fraction A), early pro-B (fraction B) and late pro-B/early pre-B (fraction C/C′) cells in the gated CD45.2+B220+CD43+ pro-B cell population. i Bar graphs show the numbers of CD45.2+ fractions A, B, and C/C′ B cells in BM. Error bars show ± SEM. Data shown are obtained from or representative of 10 (a, d–g) or 8 (h, i) mice of each genotype or representative of 2 (b, c) independent experiments. Control data are representative of 3 μMT and Jak3-deficient mice
