Abstract excerpt
To determine the potential roles of c-jun in lymphocyte development, we generated somatic chimeric mice by injecting homozygous c-jun mutant embryonic stem (ES) cells into blastocysts from recombination activating gene-2 (RAG-2)-deficient mice. Chimeric mice had poor restoration of thymocytes, but contained substantial numbers of mature T and B lymphocytes in the periphery. Stimulation of c-jun-/- B cells...
