Lymphohematopoietic progenitors derived from midgestation mouse
embryos were established in long-term cultures with stromal cell
monolayers and interleukin 7 (IL-7), giving rise to B-lineage cell
lines. The initial emergence and in vitro establishment of these early
embryo cell lines were highly sensitive to IL-7-mediated signals, in
comparison to cell lines similarly obtained using precursors from
late fetal liver (> 13 days postcoitum) and adult bone marrow.
The early embryo-derived progenitors spontaneously differentiated in
vitro to CD19+IgM+ immature B cells in the
presence of optimal concentrations of IL-7, in contrast to those
progenitors obtained from late gestation and adult mice, whose
differentiation only occurred in the absence of IL-7. The newly in
vitro-generated B cells of the early embryo cell lines repopulated
adult immunodeficient severe combined immunodeficient mice on their
adoptive transfer in vivo and generated specific humoral immune
responses after immunization.
