mortality/aging
• increase in mortality following a single dose of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) compared to similarly treated wild-type controls
|
immune system
• spleen architecture is disrupted and the spleen is disorganized
|
• mice exhibit leukocyte invasion of red pulp
|
• mesenteric lymph nodes are smaller than in wild-type
• B cell area is larger than in wild-type
|
• peripheral lymph nodes are absent
• however, mesenteric and cervical lymph nodes are present
|
• in response to stimulation with sheep red blood cells (SRBC), mice fail to produce anti-SRBC IgG at day 6 and only produce a negligible amount by day 15 unlike wild-type mice
• while mice produce wild-type levels of anti-NP following stimulation with NP-CGG, mice only show low levels of affinity maturation
|
hematopoietic system
• spleen architecture is disrupted and the spleen is disorganized
|
• mice exhibit leukocyte invasion of red pulp
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase in mortality following a single dose of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) compared to similarly treated wild-type controls
