Spleens were isolated and pressed through a 70-μm nylon screen to generate a single-cell suspension. B cells were isolated using the EasySep Mouse B cell kit (StemCell Technologies) per the manufacturer’s protocols. CTV or CFSE labeling was performed following the manufacturer’s protocols. 5 × 106 purified B cells were injected into each lobe of the thymus using ultrasound guidance as previously described (59 ).
