immune system
• kill ability was significantly suppressed when this allele is heterozygous with Lystbg
• NK cells showed variable ability to kill but always below normal compared to non-satin mice from same background
|
integument
• all four hair types are thin
• cortex is slightly thicker; medullary component is much reduced
|
• results from structural abnormalities of the medulla and defects in the hair shaft
|
• medullary cells elongate as they enter the hair shaft producing a cylider of cells rather than delicate network
• keratinization is not observed
|
hematopoietic system
• NK cells showed variable ability to kill but always below normal compared to non-satin mice from same background
• kill ability was significantly suppressed when this allele is heterozygous with Lystbg
