Abstract excerpt
We discovered B-lymphocyte-deficient mice within a group of B10.A-CD45.1 mice, and established that this deficiency was a recessively inherited trait. Gene mapping and sequence analysis showed a mutation in the third exon of the Cd79b gene (c.224G>A) that leads to the generation of a stop codon (W75X) in the mutant mouse. Fluorescent-activated cell sorting analysis of bone marrow cells showed that the mutant mice...
