• Gr1+ splenic and bone marrow granulocytes are increased by 4 fold in comparison to control in 10-14 week old mice and continue increasing with age
|
• NK1.1+ splenic cells are increased by 8 fold in comparison to control in 10-14 week old mice, however, numbers are reduced in 10-12 month old mice
|
• percentages of circulating lymphocytes are significantly decreased in comparison to control
|
• B220+ splenic B cells are decreased (53.0.0% vs. 4.7%) in comparison to C57BL/6 control in 10-14 week old mice
|
• there is a significant absence of splenic B cells bearing the Ig kappa light chain (40.0% vs. 0.9%) in 10-14 week old mice
|
• significant numbers of CD3+ splenic T cells are absent in comparison to control (37.1% vs. <0.1%) in 10-14 week old mice
|
• in addition, existing CD4+ cells are not CD3+CD4+
|
• in addition, existing CD8+ cells are not CD3+CD8+
|
• F4/80+ splenic macrophages are increased by almost 7 fold in comparison to control in 10-14 week old mice, however numbers are reduced in 10-12 month old mice
|
• homozygotes have four fold reduction in spleen cellularity at 10-14 weeks old as compared to controls
• mice aged to 10-12 months have some increase in cellularity, but it remains less than half that of control mice
|
• follicles are absent
|
• only 2/10 homozygotes produce greater than 1 ug/ml serum Ig between 1-29 weeks of age, however, between 30-57 weeks of age all mice produce greater than 1 ug/ml (ranging from 2-30 ug/ml)
|
• NK cell activity is markedly elevated in comparison to control
|
• patches contain few lymphoid cells
|
• follicles are absent
|
• class II expression is reduced 4 fold on spleen cells in 10-14 week old mice
|
• homozygotes exhibit elevated levels of complement activity in comparison to control
