Pik3cd GOF B cells show defective switching but normal expansion and affinity maturation in vivo. WT or Pik3cdGOF SWHEL cells were transferred to WT congenic hosts, which were then immunized with HEL-2x-SRBC. (A) The expansion of SWHEL cells was tracked over time (mean ± SEM, n = 3–4 mice per group, representative experiment shown). (B) Percentage of cells with a plasmablast or GC phenotype was determined. (C) Percentage of cells that switched to IgG1 or were unswitched (IgM+) was determined in the plasmablast and GC populations. (D) Levels of HEL-specific serum Ig of various classes at day 5.5 were determined by ELISA. (B–D, each linked point shows mean ± SEM [n = 3–5] of single experiment). (E) Donor GC IgG1+ cells were sorted on day 10 and sequenced to identify mutations. Significant differences were determined by paired t tests. **, P < 0.01.
