The IgH 3′ regulatory region super-enhancer does not control IgA class switch recombination in the B1 lineage

摘要

The bone marrow-derived B2 population represents the vast majority of bone marrow,blood,lymph node and splenic B-cells.Mouse B1 B-cells mostly originate during embryonic life in the liver and represent the main B-cell population in the pleural and peritoneal cavities.1,2,3,4,5 B1 and B2 B-cells differ in their origin,antigen specificity,cell surface markers,tissue distribution and capacity for class switch recombination(CSR).Schematically,B1 B-cells appear earlier than B2 B-cells during fetal development and maintain their self-renewal ability throughout their life.
