Abstract excerpt
Previous studies on c-Abl-deficient mice have shown high post-natal mortality and lymphopenia. However, the mechanisms by which c-Abl may influence B lymphopoiesis remain obscure. In this study, we analyzed B cell sub-populations at various differentiation stages in the bone marrow (BM) of c-Abl-deficient mice. Phenotypic analyses revealed that c-Abl(-/-) pro-B cells were reduced to half of normal incidence and...
