immune system phenotype ( J:181782 )
N
• before immunization, mice have normal B-cell subsets in the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, and peritoneal cavities
decreased germinal center B cell number ( J:181782 )
• significantly decreased numbers (6- to 10 fold) of germinal center (GC) B cells are present in the spleen at day 10 after immunization
• drastic reductions in GC B cell populations in Peyer patches and mesenteric lymph nodes are also observed
absent memory B cells ( J:181782 )
• NP-specific memory B (IgG1) cells are essentially absent from spleens of mice 56 days after primary immunization with NP-CGG
absent plasma cells ( J:181782 )
• NP-specific IgG1 antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) are absent from the bone marrow at 56 days after primary immunization with NP-CGG
abnormal germinal center B cell physiology ( J:181782 )
• at 10 days after immunization, numbers of proliferating GC B cells are 3- to 5-fold lower than in wild-type, suggesting impaired proliferative capacity
• GC B cells are mores susceptible to cell death; numbers of apoptotic cells are 30 to 50% higher than in controls at day 10 after immunization
abnormal humoral immune response ( J:181782 )
• upon immunization with a T cell dependent antigen (NP-CGG), mice display normal levels of NP-specific IgM antibodies at 14, 21, and 28 days following exposure, while NP-specific IgG1, IgGb and IgG3 antibody titers are drastically reduced
decreased immunoglobulin level ( J:181782 )
• mice have lower basal serum levels of IgG1, IgG2b, IgG3, and IgA compared to wild-type
• IgM level is normal

abnormal B cell differentiation ( J:181782 )
• rescued germinal center B cells cannot effectively differentiate into antibody-secreting cells (AScs), and fail to differentiate into high affinity ASCs
decreased germinal center B cell number ( J:181782 )
• numbers are reduced in spleen relative to wild-type, but are dramatically increased on a Bcl2l11-deficient background compared to conditional knockouts with wild-type background
decreased plasma cell number ( J:181782 )
• NP-specific IgG1 antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) are present only at 20-25% of the numbers observed in wild-type spleens at day 12 after immunization
• high affinity ASCs are almost undetectable and bone marrow
