immune system
decreased B cell number ( J:110100 )
• peripheral B cell compartment in homozygotes is reduced with B cells accounting for ~25% of total splenocytes compared to 40% in wild-type
• a significant increase in lambda+ B cells is observed while 10% of B cells express both kappa and lambda light chains
• in kappa/lambda light chain included-B cells in mutant mice, a strong increase of CD23low/CD21high (marginal zone, MZ) B cells is observed compared to wild-type; ~15% of kappa-gated and 40% of kappa/lambda-included B cells are in the MZ compartment in mutants contrasting with the 5% of MZ B cells in wild-type
• B1 cells are unaffected in transgenic animals
abnormal B cell physiology ( J:110100 )
• B cell receptor associated kappa chain expression is of lower density than endogenous kappa light chain expression in B cells
• a 9-fold increase in kappa expression is seen in lambda B cells vs wild-type

• no autoantibodies are detected in the sera of transgenic animals
abnormal B cell number ( J:110100 )
• a significant increase in lambda+ B cells is observed while 25% of B cells express both kappa and lambda light chains
• B1 cells are unaffected in transgenic animals
increased plasma cell number ( J:110100 )
• there are increased numbers of kappa-lambda hybrid Ig molecules and lambda-containing Ig molecules vs wild-type
decreased B cell number ( J:110100 )
• mice show significant reduction in peripheral B cell number with only ~20% of total splenocytes being B cells
increased pre-B cell number ( J:110100 )
• number of B220+/CD43+ pre-B cells is slightly increased
decreased naive B cell number ( J:110100 )
• total B220+/IgD+ recirculating B cells (naive, mature B cells) are decreased ~2-fold
abnormal plasma cell morphology ( J:110100 )
• about 25% of plasma cells appear to produce simultaneously both light chain types even if the proportion of lambda-only plasma cells are observed
