| Objective:With three months old GF,SPF and CL BALB/c mice as the research object,this paper analyzed the characteristics of the memory B cells BCR H-CDR3 repertoire of the mouse’s small intestine and spleen.This study preliminarily explored the relationship between intestinal microflora and BCR H-CDR3 repertoire of mouse intestinal and spleen memory B cells.This study provided reference data,new research ideas and techniques for further study on the development,differentiation,proliferation and response of B cells to intestinal microflora.Methods:1 The faeces of three months old GF,SPF and CL BALB/c mice were collected at-80 degrees.The DNA of microbial community was extracted,and of which the 16SrDNA was libraried and Illumina Solexa sequencing were carried out.EXCEL software and Draw Venn Diagram software were used to analyze the composition and characteristics of the GF,SPF and CL mice fecal microbacteria groups.(completed by Huada gene)2 The histological structure of small intestine and mesenteric lymph nodes of three months old GF,SPF and CL BALB/cmice were observed by using tissue section technique.3 The percentage of memory B cells in small intestine,spleen,bone marrow and peripheral blood of 3 months old GF,SPF and CL BALB/cmice was detected by flow cytometry.4 The memory B cells of small intestine and spleen were obtained by magnetic bead sorting technique.The purity of memory B cells was identified by flow cytometry,and the purity of B cells was more than 85%.QIAGEN kit was used to extract DNA samples of memory B cells from small intestine and spleen,and DNA samples from small intestine tissue.Firstly,the concentration and purity of each DNA sample were identified.The BCR H-CDR3 repertoire was constructed with multiple PCR in each mouse sample,and the Illumina Solexa high-throughput sequencing was carried out(completed by Adaptive Biotechnologies ImmunoSEQ,USA).5 Using Immuno SEQ software,draw Venn Diagram software and GraphPad Prism 5 software to analyze the composition of memory B cell BCR H-CDR3 repertoire in small intestine and spleen and total B cell BCR H-CDR3 repertoire in small intestine of three months old GF,SPF and CL mice,including the usege of V,D,J,V-J gen pairing,the high frequency mutation of V gen,amino acid length,the usege of amino acid,sequence composition of iso-alanine,insertion and

the diversity of intestinal microflora among the three groups(P<0.05).The main expression was that CL mice had the largest number of intestinal microflora and the most abundant diversity.Among them,CL mice had more Proteus than SPF mice.But the faeces of GF mice had very little species and low abundance.2 The histological structure of intestinal and mesenteric lymph nodes of GF BALB/cmice was different from that of SPF and CL BALB/cmice.The main difference was that the small intestinal villi were diluted,the villus length was relatively long,the crypt depth was deeper,and the glandular layer and the basal layer were thinning;The primary germinal center of mesenteric lymph nodes became smaller,and there was less diffuse lymphoid tissue between lymph nodules in the superficial cortex.3 The distribution of memory B cells in bone marrow,spleen,small intestine and peripheral blood of three months old GF,SPF and CL BALB/cmice is different.(3 mice in each group)The main difference was that the proportion of memory B cells in bone marrow of GF-grade mice was significantly lower than that of SPF grade and CL group(P<0.05),while the proportion of memory B cells in spleen and peripheral blood was significantly increased(P<0.05).4 Total HTS sequence data and analysis results of BCR H-CDR3 repertoire in small intestine and spleen of three months old GF,SPF and CL
