Splenic B cells were isolated from naïve mice, purified by negative selection kit (Stem Cell Technologies, Canada), activated with anti-CD40 and IL4 as described previously [82 (link)], and collected 4 days after culture for metaphase preparation and FISH analysis. FISH analysis was performed with specific BAC probes as previously described [82 (link)] (see details in Additional file 1). Genomic DNA was isolated from tumor masses or normal tissues from control mice, and Southern blotting was performed as previously described [41 (link)].
