Expansion of B cell populations in IL-17RA KO/lpr mice. (A) Total numbers of splenic B cells (CB19+) in wildtype and lpr mice. Bars depict wild type B6 (grey stripe), IL-17RA KO (open stripe), B6/lpr (black), and IL-17RA.KO/lpr (open) mice at 10, 20, and 30 weeks of age. [B] Total numbers of splenic follicular B cells (CD19+ B220+ CD21− CD23+),marginal zone B cells (CD19+ B220+ CD21+ CD23−), transitional B cells (CD19+ B220+ CD21− CD23−), and germinal centre B cells (CD19+ B220+ PNA+ CD95+) in B6/lpr and IL-17RA KO/lpr mice at different ages. (C) Total numbers of IgM, IgG1 and IgG2 producing CD138+ plasma cells at different ages. Mean and SEM are shown for n = 9–21 animals per group; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
