Abstract excerpt
The systemic immune response of joining-chain (J-chain)-deficient mice (J(-/-) mice) on a C57BL/6 background against the hapten 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl (NP) was analysed. While primary IgG responses to the hapten were similar to those observed in WT control animals, secondary immune responses were compromised both at the level of serum IgG and the number of responding B cells. The repertoire switch from lambda to...
