Characterization of B lymphopoiesis in mouse bone marrow and spleen.

چکیده
This chapter provides information on the application of flow cytometry for analysis of B-cell development, describing in detail the particular surface proteins that can serve as markers for recognizing distinct stages in this process. These cell fractions range from just prior to initial heavy chain rearrangement, the germline pro-B stage, through D-J rearranged pro-B and heavy chain expressing pre-B stages, to the maturing surface BCR positive B-cell stages. It also outlines assays for the characterization of these cells, including procedures for testing functional lineage restriction, determination of rearrangement status, analyses of gene expression at the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein level, and assessment of cell cycle state.

Effect of daunorubicin drug with and without cimetidine on the nucleated cells of bone marrow of balb/c mouse
Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...
متن کاملIntramedullary and extramedullary B lymphopoiesis in osteopetrotic mice.
Adult bone marrow is a major site for hematopoiesis, and reduction of the bone marrow cavity induces hematopoiesis in extramarrow tissues. To investigate the rudimentary intramarrow and the compensatory extramarrow hematopoiesis, particularly B lymphopoiesis, we used 3 osteopetrotic mouse strains [op/op, mi/mi, and Fos (-/-)], which are severely deficient in functional osteoclasts and therefore...
متن کاملIn Vitro Studies on Radiation Lymphoid Recovery of Mouse Spleen
In vitro studies, utilizing an organ culture method were reported on mutual interactions between irradiated spleen, normal bone marrow, and thymus. It has been shown; (a) that singly isolated spleen explants were incapable of lymphoid regeneration, (b) thymus had no stimulatory effect on spleen regeneration, (c) bone marrow interacted synergistically with spleen leading to appearance of lymphoi...
متن کاملBiopterin synthesis in mouse spleen during bone marrow transplantation correlates with unimpaired hemopoietic engraftment.
Normal engraftment of bone marrow transplants depends on histocompatibility between donor and recipient. In this case reconstitution of hemopoiesis and lymphopoiesis in the mouse spleen is correlated with transient biopterin synthesis in these cells. Allogeneic bone marrow progeny cells undergo donor cell proliferation in the spleen prior to the incidence of graft-versus-host reaction. These ce...
متن کاملDetection of human hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the livers of adult immunodeficient mice by an optimized flow cytometric method.
Immunodeficient NOD.Cg-Prkdc(scid) Il2rg(tm1Wjl)/SzJ (NSG) mice are a valuable resource to study human hematopoietic stem cells. Prolonged multilineage hematopoiesis indicates stem cell engraftment and generally is measured by flow cytometry. In this study, we took advantage of the multi-parameter detection afforded by modern flow cytometers to optimize detection of human hematopoiesis in NSG m...
