immune system
• specific IgG antibodies are almost undetectable in SRBC immunized mutants, indicating defective class switching
• 2- to 3- fold increase in leukocyte count in spleen, blood, and peritoneal cavity
• mixed T- and B-cell areas and the boundary between white and red pulp is less defined
• absence of polarized B-cell follicles
• gradual reduction of white pulp size
• not grossly detectable
• nasal-associated lymphoid tissue poorly developed and hypocellular
• defecient IgG antibody production
• total IgM levels are increased to about 2-times that of wild-type, due to an increase in number of IgM producing plasma cells in the spleen
• chemokine expression is essentially absent
• no Ifn-gamma produced in nasal-associated lymphoid tissue but it is found in the spleen

mortality/aging

• nearly 3 fold increase
• neutrophil, monocyte, platelet counts normal

• in response to LPS, mice demonstrate a 10-fold decrease in production of TNF compared to wild-type or Ltatm1.1Sned
• both bone marrow derived macrophages and neutrophils fail to produce normal levels of TNF when stimulated
