18. You created a transgenic mouse in which all B cells express heavy and light chain of immunoglobulins specific to chicken ovalbumin (OVA). The mouse also expresses the gene for OVA in peripheral tissues (skin, liver, spleen, and gut). The phenotype of this mouse will be A. no naïve B cells B. no naïve T cells C. naïve T cells with reduced expression of OVA-specific TCRs on cell surface D. naïve B cells with reduced expression of OVA-specific BCRs on cell surface E. naïve B cells with increased expression of OVA-specific BCRs on cell surface
