mortality/aging
• mice do not survive after 6 weeks of age
|
• fewer than the expected numbers of mice are obtained
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
small thymus
(
J:348981
)
• cellularity of thymus is reduced
|
growth/size/body
hematopoietic system
• double positive cells are reduced and single positive CD4 and CD8 cells are increased, suggesting reduced proliferation of double negative thymocytes leading to double positive stage
|
small thymus
(
J:348981
)
• cellularity of thymus is reduced
|
• bone marrow cellularity is reduced, with the percentage of Ter119+ bone marrow cells, corresponding to erythrocyte progenitors, is strongly decreased
• absolute numbers of erythroid and hematopoietic progenitors are reduced as bone marrow cellularity is reduced
• however, the percentage of LSK+ cells in bone marrow is normal
|
• absolute numbers of B lymphocytes are reduced in the spleen
|
• absolute numbers of NK cells are reduced in the spleen
|
• absolute numbers of T lymphocytes are reduced in the spleen
|
• absolute numbers of hematopoietic progenitors are reduced as bone marrow cellularity is reduced
|
• the percentage of Ter119+ bone marrow cells, corresponding to erythrocyte progenitors, is strongly decreased
|
• spleen cellularity is normal but absolute numbers of B and T lymphocytes and NK cells are reduced, while macrophages and granulocytes are not affected
|
immune system
• double positive cells are reduced and single positive CD4 and CD8 cells are increased, suggesting reduced proliferation of double negative thymocytes leading to double positive stage
