Adoptive transfer of T and B cells into mouse models of BLS. (A) Proliferation of CFSE-labeled Vα3+ T cells from 2D2 TCR transgenic mice after adoptive transfer into RFX5-/-, CIITA-/-, Aα-/-, and C57BL/6 mice and immunization with MOG p35-55. The histogram analysis of CFSE fluorescence of CD4+Vα3+PI- lymphocytes is shown. (B) Survival of CD45.1+ B cells after transfer into Aα-/- or RFX5-/- hosts. The dot plots show B220 and CD45.1 expression of non-B-cell marker-negative splenocytes 3 weeks after transfer. The histogram analysis depicts the I-Ab expression of the indicated populations. The number in each quadrant represents the percentage of cells in that quadrant.
