| الوصف: | Tissue and subcellular localization and its changes upon cell activation of virus-restricting APOBEC3 at protein levels are important to understanding physiological functions of this cytidine deaminase, but have not been thoroughly analyzed in vivo. To precisely follow the possible activation-induced changes in expression levels of APOBEC3 protein in different mouse tissues and cell populations, genome editing was utilized to establish knock-in mice that express APOBEC3 protein with an in-frame FLAG tag. Flow cytometry and immunohistochemical analyses were performed prior to and after an immunological stimulation. Cultured B cells expressed higher levels of APOBEC3 protein than T cells. All differentiation and activation stages of freshly prepared B cells expressed significant levels of APOBEC3 protein, but germinal center cells possessed the highest levels of APOBEC3 protein localized in their cytoplasm. Upon immunological stimulation with sheep red blood cells in vivo, germinal center cells with high levels of APOBEC3 protein expression increased in their number, but FLAG-specific fluorescence intensity in each cell did not change. T cells, even those in germinal centers, did not express significant levels of APOBEC3 protein. Thus, mouse APOBEC3 protein is expressed at distinctively high levels in germinal center B cells. Antigenic stimulation did not affect expression levels of cellular APOBEC3 protein despite increased numbers of germinal center cells. |
