## Abstract Previous __in vivo__ studies have shown that the immunsuppressive peptide cyclosporin A (CsA) selectively suppresses antibody responses to nonmitogenic Tβindependent (TIβ2) antigens, but not those to mitogenic (TIβ1) antigens. This report demonstrates that __in vitro__ CsA suppresses th
This study tracks the fate of antigen-reactive B cells through follicular and extrafollicular responses and addresses the function of CD40 in these processes. The unique feature of this system is the use of transgenic B cells in which the heavy chain locus has been altered by site-directed insertion
