Abstract excerpt
Pten is a tumor suppressor gene mutated in human cancers. We used the Cre-loxP system to generate a B cell-specific mutation of Pten in mice (bPten(flox/flox)mice). bPten(flox/flox) mice showed elevated numbers of B1a cells and increased serum autoantibodies. Among B2 cells in bPten(flox/flox) sp...
