The frequency of lambda light chain (L) producing cells in immunoglobulin-producing cells that have been generated in vitro from bone marrow pre-B cells was investigated. The frequency of lambda-producing cells obtained in such a culture was three- to eightfold higher than that observed in the culture of mature spleen B cells. These results suggest that the activation of lambda gene at pre-B cell stage occurs far more frequently than the frequency presumed from the percentage of lambda-bearing cells in mature B cells.
研究了从骨髓前B细胞体外生成的免疫球蛋白产生细胞中产生λ轻链(L)的细胞频率。在这种培养物中获得的产生λ的细胞频率比在成熟脾B细胞培养物中观察到的频率高3至8倍。这些结果表明,前B细胞阶段λ基因的激活发生频率远高于从成熟B细胞中携带λ的细胞百分比推测的频率。
