"The consensus from the above experiments was that B cells in peripheral lymphoid tissue are predominantly long-lived, with a life span of between 4 and 7 weeks (Table 1). Based on this conclusion, peripheral B cells should undergo a slow and steady decline in number on transfer from one mouse to another." |
