immune system
• larger lymph nodes often show extensive hemorrhage
|
• IgG and IgM levels are modestly increased in serum at 6 months
|
• nodes are 6 times normal size
|
• larger lymph nodes often show extensive necrosis
|
• increase in thymocytotoxic autoantibodies at 6 months is seen
|
• mice have significantly increased levels of anti-ssDNA antibodies
|
• antibodies are increased relative to controls
|
• Background Sensitivity: immune complex glomerulonephritis develops by 1 year of age but is much milder than in MRL homozygotes
