Figure 2. Phenotypes of p85α−/− and Btk−/− mice. (A) Splenocytes from the indicated mice were stained with anti-B220 and anti-AA4.1, and analyzed on a FACSAria. The percentages of immature B cells (B220+AA4.1+) and mature B cells (B220+AA4.1−) are indicated (left). Results are presented as mean plus or minus SD (percentages of heterozygotes) (right). Significant differences between p85α+/− and p85α−/− mice or Btk+/− and Btk−/− mice are indicated. *P < .01; **P < .05. (B) Analysis of B220+AA4.1+ immature B cells for surface expression of IgM and CD23: T1 represents IgM+CD23lo; T2, IgM+CD23+; and T3, IgMloCD23+. Among B220+AA4.1+ cells, the percentages of the T1, T2, and T3 subsets are indicated. (C) Splenocytes from the indicated mice were stained with anti-CD23, anti-CD21, and anti-IgM. Among CD23+ (top panels) and CD23− (bottom panels) lymphocyte populations, the percentages of CD23+CD21intIgMlo FO B cells identified as the cells in the square region (top panels) or CD23−CD21hiIgMhi MZ B cells identified as the cells in the square region (bottom panels) are indicated. Data are representative of 6 mice each for p85α+/− and p85α−/− mice on a BALB/c background or 4 mice each for Btk+/− and Btk−/− mice on a (C57BL/6 × 129/Sv) mixed background.
