Lyn-deficient mice were generated to analyze the role of Lyn in B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling. These mice had a reduced number of peripheral B cells with a greater proportion of immature cells and a higher than normal turnover rate. Aged lyn-/- mice developed splenomegaly, produced autoantibodies, and had an expanded population of B lymphoblasts of the B1 lineage. Splenic B cells from young lyn-/- mice...
