title = "Failure of lymphopoiesis after adoptive transfer of NF-κB-deficient fetal liver cells",
abstract = "Mice deficient in the p65 subunit of NF-κB die during fetal development. Introduction of p50/p65-deficient fetal liver cells into lethally irradiated hosts resulted in a severe deficit of fetal liver- derived lymphocytes and their immediate precursors but an overabundance of fetal liver-derived granulocytes. Surprisingly, simultaneous transplantation of wild-type bone marrow cells rescued the production of p50/p65-deficient lymphocytes. Expression of immunoglobulin κ light chains on these rescued NF-κB-deficient B lymphocytes was normal. These results suggest that while p50 and p65 do not regulate the maturation of pre-B cells, NF-κB mediates the development or survival of an early lymphocyte precursor through regulation of an extra-cellular factor.",
