a Bone marrow B1 B-cell progenitor analysis of 2-month-old mice. Upper panel: representative plots of FACS analysis of B1 (Lin−IgM−CD93+B220−CD19+) B-cell progenitor. Lower panel: percentage and absolute cell numbers of the bone marrow Lin−IgM−CD93+B220−CD19+ population. Each symbol represents one mouse. Nfkbie+/+ (n = 5), Nfkbie+/− mice (n = 6) and Nfkbie/− mice (n = 6). b Analysis of total B cells (CD19+), B1 (CD19+B220low) and B2 (CD19+B220+) subset distribution in the spleen and peritoneal cavity. Each symbol represents one mouse. Nfkbie+/+ (n = 5), Nfkbie+/− mice (n = 6), and Nfkbie/− mice (n = 6). c Analysis of splenic transitional (T1 (CD19+B220+CD93+IgMhiCD23−) and T2 (CD19+B220+CD93+IgMhiCD23+)) B cells, MZB cells and FoB cells distribution. Each symbol represents one mouse. Nfkbie+/+ (n = 5), Nfkbie+/− mice (n = 6), and Nfkbie/− mice (n = 6). Data are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; ns, not significant.
