Creation of mixed bone marrow chimeras with appropriate controls

External protocol Created on 30 Apr 2014

Authors

Jennifer Gommerman and Olga Rojas

Summary

We report that IgA+ PC also can produce the anti-microbial mediators TNFα and iNOS which appears to arise in the unique environment of the gut, and may be critical to mount effective responses to microbial assault. To examine the functional relevance of TNFα/iNOS expression in IgA+ cells, we created mixed-bone marrow (BM) chimeras from TNFα/iNOS double knockout mice (dKO), in combination with B-cell deficient (JH-/-), using JH-/- or Rag2-/- mice lethally irradiated recipients, thus creating mixed BM chimeras in which B cells are unable to produce TNFα/iNOS. Here we describe in detail the generation of these mixed bone marrow chimeras.
