Abstract excerpt
CBA/N (xid) mice have a point mutation in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (btk), which results in their failure to respond to T-independent type 2 (TI-2) antigens, and to several B cell mitogens [most notably anti-immunoglobulin (Ig)] in vitro. They have reduced numbers of peripheral (B2) B cells, which are regarded as being phenotypically and functionally immature. We show here that adult CBA/N mice in fact have two...
