hematopoietic system
• enlargement of the spleen is reduced compared to Traf3ip2 single homozygotes
• immunoglobulin levels are normal unlike in Traf3ip2 single homozygotes
|
• total splenic B cells, transitional B cells and follicular B cells are reduced in the spleen
|
• total number of mature B cells is reduced
|
immune system
• enlargement of the spleen is reduced compared to Traf3ip2 single homozygotes
• immunoglobulin levels are normal unlike in Traf3ip2 single homozygotes
|
• total splenic B cells, transitional B cells and follicular B cells are reduced in the spleen
|
• total number of mature B cells is reduced
|
• enlargement of the lymph nodes is reduced compared to Traf3ip2 single homozygotes
|
• mutants develop anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies in response to recombinant SSA/Ro and SSB/La antigens, although to a lower level than in Traf3ip2 single homozygotes due to the low number of B cells, but higher levels than in Tnfsf13b single homozygotes
