HEL treated samples were washed after 5 days, replaced with new media with no IL-7, but 1ug/mL HEL. Control samples were treated the same except no HEL in the media. HEL Mlo samples were sorted for IgMa low, IgDneg. HEL 48h samples were sorted for B220+ IgMahi, GFP+ cells after 48h in HEL. BM 48h Ctrl samples were sorted for B220+ IgMahi GFPneg after 48h in culture with no HEL.
