A monoclonal antibody that recognizes B cells and B cell precursors in mice.
TL;DR: The monoclonal antibody, RA3-2C2, appears to be specific for cells within the B cell lineage, but does not recognize thymocytes, peripheral T cells, or nonlymphoid hematopoietic cells in the spleen or bone marrow.

Abstract: The monoclonal antibody, RA3-2C2, appears to be specific for cells within the B cell lineage. This antibody does not recognize thymocytes, peripheral T cells, or nonlymphoid hematopoietic cells in the spleen or bone marrow. Nor does it recognize the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, the spleen colony-forming unit, All sIg+ B cells and most plasma cells are RA3-2C2+. In addition, approximately 20% of nucleated bone marrow cells are RA3-2C2+ but sIg-. This population contains B cell precursors that can give rise to sIg+ cells within 2 d in vitro.

Mice deficient for p53 are developmentally normal but susceptible to spontaneous tumours
Lawrence A. Donehower,Michele Harvey,Betty L. Slagle,Mark J. McArthur,Charles A. Montgomery,Janet S. Butel,Allan Bradley +6 more
TL;DR: Observations indicate that a normal p53 gene is dispensable for embryonic development, that its absence predisposes the animal to neoplastic disease, and that an oncogenic mutant form of p53 is not obligatory for the genesis of many types of tumours.

A severe combined immunodeficiency mutation in the mouse
TL;DR: Mice homozygous for this mutation have few if any lymphocytes; consequently they are hypogammaglobulinaemic and deficient for immune functions mediated by T and B lymphocytes and represent a new model for investigating how lymphoid differentiation may be impaired in the disease state and regulated in the normal state.

Participation of p53 cellular tumour antigen in transformation of normal embryonic cells.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that p53 can cooperate with the activated Ha-ras oncogene to transform normal embryonic cells, and the resultant foci contain cells of a markedly altered morphology which produce high levels of p53.

Immunohistologic and functional characterization of a vascular addressin involved in lymphocyte homing into peripheral lymph nodes.
TL;DR: MECA-79 defines a novel vascular addressin involved in directing lymphocyte homing to peripheral lymph nodes and blocks binding of both normal lymphocytes and a peripheral lymph node-specific lymphoma to peripheralymph node HEV in vitro and in vivo.
Developing lymph nodes collect CD4+CD3- LTbeta+ cells that can differentiate to APC, NK cells, and follicular cells but not T or B cells
TL;DR: It is proposed that the novel subset of CD4+CD3-LTbeta+ fetal cells is instrumental in the development of lymphoid tissue architecture.

Differentiation of lymphocytes in mouse bone marrow. II. Kinetics of maturation and renewal of antiglobulin-binding cells studied by double labeling.
D.G. Osmond,G. J. V. Nossal +1 more
TL;DR: DNA labeling by 3 H-thymidine in vitro and antiglobulin- 131 I binding in vitro were used to determine the development and turnover of immunoglobulin -bearing lymphocytes in mouse bone marrow to demonstrate a continuous, rapid renewal of immunosorbent small lymphocyte in adult mouseBone marrow.

Mouse bone marrow lymphocytes and their differentiation.
TL;DR: The BM B lymphocyte population, which appear to derive directly from BM null lymphocytes, differ in several respects from the B lymphocytes found in peripheral lymphoid organs: a number of them bear light chains without detectable µ, γ, or α heavy chains; they have little or no receptor for complement; their response to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in culture is different from that of spleen B lymph cells.

Studies on the Generation of B Lymphocytes in Fetal Liver and Bone Marrow
TL;DR: It is shown that fetal bone marrow is a site of generation of sIgM+ B lymphocytes, but the question as to whether these cells are derived from Ig- precursors within marrow itself remains open.

The Class of Surface Immunoglobulin on Virgin and Memory B Lymphocytes
Robert L. Coffman,Melvin Cohn +1 more
TL;DR: The class of surface immunoglobulin receptors for antigen on B cell precursors of different classes of antibody-forming cells was determined by utilizing a technique of class-specific antigen suicide, demonstrating that an antigen-dependent switch from IgM and IgD to IgG1 production is a common feature of B cell maturation.
