immune system
• 50% of heterozygous mutant had an abnormally high ratio of T cells versus mature B cells due to a reduction in the B2 cell number
• the response in vitro to the mitogens LPS, anti CD40, and IL4 plus anti-IgM was higher for splenic B cells
• anti-DNA antibodies were not detected
• mice have normal paws at birth but gradually develop swollen and deformed
• male mice were affected earlier at 2 months than female at 8-10 months
• resulting in severe arthritis of the small joints of the paws and missing phalanges
• in the superficial layers of the skin of the paws and ears
