B cells, after activation, can undergo class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation of their immunoglobulin genes, and can differentiate into memory cells and plasma cells. Expressing genes in altered versions in primary B cells and B cell lines is an important approach to understanding how B cell receptor signaling leads to B cell activation and differentiation. Recombinant retrovirus-based transduction is the most efficient method to deliver exogenous genes for expression in B cells. In this chapter, we describe streamlined protocols for using recombinant retroviral vectors to transduce both murine primary B cells and B cell lines.
B细胞活化后,可发生免疫球蛋白基因的类别转换重排和体细胞高频突变,并可分化为记忆细胞和浆细胞。在原代B细胞和B细胞系中以改变的形式表达基因,是理解B细胞受体信号如何导致B细胞活化和分化的重要方法。基于重组逆转录病毒的转导是在B细胞中表达外源基因的最有效方法。在本章中,我们描述了使用重组逆转录病毒载体转导小鼠原代B细胞和B细胞系的简化方案。
