Figure 1. M cell development is comparable in LMP1/CD4//CD19 +/- and LMP1/CD4//CD19 -/- mice. () In the bone marrow (M) the total cell numbers were slightly decreased in LMP1/CD4 mice independent of the absence and presence of CD19 in comparison to the controls. Total cell numbers in the different genotypes: cell numbers were calculated by offsetting the total cell number of the bone marrow that was determined by cell counting against the percentage of TO-PRO-3 - cells gated on lymphocytes and 22. Symbols represent data from individual mice and horizontal bars mark the mean values. The numbers indicate the mean value of each data set. () nalysis of the different cell subsets in the bone marrow revealed that mainly the mature recirculating cells (IgM + /IgD + ) and not the developing cells were decreased in LMP1/CD4 mice, whereupon the reduction was stronger in LMP1/CD4//CD19 -/- than in LMP1/CD4//CD19 +/- mice. one marrow preparations were analyzed by flow cytometry for the expression of 22 and CD43 to determine the percentages of pro/early pre- (22 pos CD43 pos ), late pre/immature (22 pos CD43 neg/low ) as well as recirculating cells (CD43 neg, 22 high ). To determine the percentage of recirculating cells (22 high, IgM med, IgD pos ) more precisely an IgM and IgD analysis was performed. Numbers indicate mean percentages and SDs of lymphocyte-gated populations and were calculated from at least five independent experiments.

Each day the percentages of viable cells were determined by FCS after staining with TO-PRO-3. sterisks indicate significant differences between the CD19-proficient and - deficient LMP1/CD4-expressing cells. () Splenic cells of the indicated genotypes were cultured for four days and percentages of 7-D +, nnexin + cells were determined by using an nnexin staining Kit purchased from D iosciences for FCS analysis.

Loss of CD19 abrogates lymphoma development in LMP1/CD4 mice. nimals were kept under observation and palpated regularly to detect lymphoma development. Lymphomas were scored by investigating mono-/ oligoclonality by Southern-lot analysis using an IgH specific probe spanning the J H3 and J H4 region. Genomic DN was prepared and digested with EcoRI from splenic cells of LMP1/CD4//CD19 +/- mice that developed neoplasias and of LMP1/CD4//CD19 -/- mice that, if they did not get sick, were analysed with an age of 19 month. The band corresponding to the unrearranged Ig locus (indicated by an asterisk) is detected in each sample since DN was prepared from total splenic cells. dditional bands are indicative for lymphoma development. In the Southern-lot some representative examples of samples displaying lymphoma development are shown. Samples with a mono- or oligoclonal cell population are indicated with an (+).
