In Old BALB/c Mice, Bone Marrow Pre-B Cell and Surrogate Light Chain Reduction Is Associated With Increased B Cell Reactivity to Phosphorylcholine, But Reduced T15 Idiotype Dominance

In young adult BALB/c mice, antibodies to phosphorylcholine (PC) bearing the T15 (TEPC 15) idiotype confer protection against pneumococcal infections. In old age, even though PC reactive B cells are often increased, the proportion of T15(+) antibodies declines. We hypothesize that limited surrogate...
