Genetic defect in responsiveness to the B cell mitogen lipopolysaccharide

Abstract
Splenic B cells from C57BL/10ScCr mice fail to respond to the mitogenic principle of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and do not express a serologically defined “LPS receptor”. In contrast, polyclonal B cell responses to both purified protein derivative of tuberculin and lipoprotein are conserved.
