Efficient B cell depletion via diphtheria toxin in CD19-Cre/iDTR mice.

B cells were first discovered as antibody producing cells, as B-1 B cells and finally as effector cells. In recent years their capacity to serve as antigen presenting cells is increasingly appreciated, and better tools are needed to study their function. We have previously described a new mouse mode...
