Cross-linking of the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple cellular substrates, including phospholipase C (PLC)-gamma 2, which is involved in the activation of the phosphatidylinositol pathway. To assess the importance of PLC-gamma 2 in murine lymphopoiesis, the PLC-gamma 2 gene was inducibly ablated by using IFN-regulated Cre recombinase. Mice with a neonatally induced loss of PLC-gamma 2 function displayed reduced numbers of mature conventional B cells and peritoneal B1 cells and defective responses in vitro to BCR stimulation and in vivo to immunization with thymus-independent type II Ags. In contrast, T cell development and TCR-mediated proliferation were normal. Taken together, PLC-gamma 2 is a critical component of BCR signaling pathways and is required to promote B cell development.
