PS exposure on B cells from CD45-/- and parental mice. (A) Lymphocytes from CD45-/- (solid line) or parental (CD45+/+) mice (dotted line) were labeled with anti-CD19APC and anti-CD19PE antibodies, respectively, to discriminate between CD19+ B cells from each mouse after mixing. Cells were mixed and preincubated with AVFITC to assess PS exposure. (B) To compare the rate of cell death among spleen cells from parental (C57BL/6) and CD45-/- mice, the sub-G1 DNA content of lymphocytes at t = 0 and 24 hours was assessed through uptake of propidium iodide (PI) analyzed by flow cytometry. Percentages of cells containing sub-G1 levels of DNA are shown. (C) Lymphocytes from CD45-/- (gray line) or parental (CD45+/+) mice (black line) were labeled with anti-CD19APC and anti-CD19FITC antibodies, respectively, to discriminate between CD19+ B cells from each mouse, mixed, and incubated with MC540 to assess lipid packing.
