Pax5 is indispensable for the commitment of early lymphoid progenitors to the B cell lineage as well as for the development of B cells. To better understand the functional importance of Pax5 at the later stages of B cell differentiation, we established a Pax5-deficient DT40 B cell line. The Pax5(-/-) cells exhibited slower growth, decreased surface IgM expression, and total loss of B cell receptor signaling. Moreover, the expression of the plasma cell-characteristic transcription factors Blimp-1 ...[more]
