Mouse strain | B-cell type | No. Exps.2 | Cloning efficiency3 | Freq. DNA-binding4 |
---|---|---|---|---|
B6 | Small pre-B | 6 (5) | 23 (±4.1) | 22 (±9.9) |
Immature/T1 | 6 (4) | 56 (±9.6) | 20 (±4.8) | |
MF | 8 (5) | 80 (±4.4) | 21 (±4.2) | |
T3 | 2 (2) | 61 (±2.1) | 25 (±9.5) | |
CD93+ anergic | 2 (2) | 51 (±2.2) | 22 (±3.1) | |
CD93− anergic | 2 (2) | 68 (±6.4) | 22 (±1.2) |
Single B cells were sorted from small pre-B, immature/T1 B, MF B, T3 B, and CD93+ and CD93− anergic B cells of B6 mice, and cultured in the presence of NB-21.2D9 feeder cells for 9 days. After culture, culture supernatants were harvested for ELISA determinations.
For each B-cell subset, number of experiments for the determination of cloning efficiency (DNA reactivity) is shown. We determined DNA reactivity from most (77%; 20/26) but not all Nojima cultures.
Cloning efficiency represents frequency of IgG+ samples as a percentage of the number of samples screened. Mean values (±SD) are shown.
For each B-cell subset, frequency of DNA-binding IgG+ samples is shown as a percentage of the number of total IgG+ samples. Mean values (±SD) are shown.
