digestive/alimentary system
• migration of proliferated intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) toward the top of the villi and the number of proliferating IECs are augmented in mutants compared to wild-type controls
• treatment of mice with antibiotics results in deceleration of IEC migration and decreased proliferation compared to treated heterozygous controls
|
hematopoietic system
• population is ~2 times larger than in heterozygous controls
|
immune system
• population is ~2 times larger than in heterozygous controls
