Phenotypic abnormalities in Socs1tm1Wehi/Socs1tm1Wehi mice

mortality/aging
• almost completely resistant to Semliki forest virus induced mortality
• homozygotes become ill and die before reaching 3 weeks of age (J:51281)
• most die by 2 - 3 weeks of age (J:57474)
• raising mice in germ free conditions does not improve survival (J:57474)
• mice die from inflammatory disease before weaning (J:72528)

growth/size/body
• homozygotes become smaller within 10 days after birth

hematopoietic system
N
• treatment with an anti-IFNG antibody rescues most of the abnormalities
• the cortex becomes progressively depleted of lymphoid cells (J:51281)
• atrophy of the cortex (J:57474)
• lymphopenia in the bone marrow
• moderate reduction in platelet numbers
• in the bone marrow
• moderate reduction in eosinophil numbers
• progressive loss of maturing B lymphocytes in the marrow, spleen, and peripheral blood
• pre-B cells are depleted significantly in the marrow

• lymphoid follicles of the spleen are either completely absent or are composed of immature cells
• most spleens show expanded areas of red pulp with nucleated erythroid cells as the main cell population
• failure of lymphoid follicle development
• stimulation with as little as 0.01 U/ml IFNG is able to maintain efficient macrophage killing of Leishmania major parasites while concentration of less than 0.1 U/ml have little effect on wild-type macrophages
• increase in the capacity to produce NO

• Peyer's patches are present but contain few lymphocytes
• lymph nodes show absence of lymphoid follicle formation

• mice die from massive generalized inflammation that affects multiple organs
• monocytic, and less frequently, granulocytic infiltration
• monocytic infiltration
• livers exhibit both focal and generalized infiltration, predominantly by immature and mature monocytic and granulocytic cells, and less frequently, megakaryocytes and eosinophils
• almost completely resistant to Semliki forest virus induced mortality

liver/biliary system
• livers exhibit both focal and generalized infiltration, predominantly by immature and mature monocytic and granulocytic cells, and less frequently, megakaryocytes and eosinophils
• at P21
• parenchymal cells contain an accumulation of lipid-containing vacuoles (J:51281)
• at P21 fatty degeneration of liver cells is seen (J:57474)
• fatty degeneration either involves local areas not related to portal vessels or is generalized to the entire liver

cardiovascular system
• monocytic, and less frequently, granulocytic infiltration

respiratory system
• increase in cellularity of alveolar walls in the lung, often associated with macrophage cuffing around major vessels

endocrine/exocrine glands
• the cortex becomes progressively depleted of lymphoid cells (J:51281)
• atrophy of the cortex (J:57474)
• monocytic infiltration

integument
• thickening of the epithelium with keratinization at P21

immune system
• enlarged thymic medulla
• increase in thymus cellularity predominately due to an increase in CD8+ T cell population
• enhanced differentiation of thymocytes toward CD8+ T cells
• large reduction in the percentage of non-T cells, mostly B cells, in the lymph nodes
• increase in the ratio of mature CD8 single positive:CD4 single positive thymocytes from 1:4 to 1:1
• increase in the ratio of CD8+:CD4+ T cells in the spleen, however total numbers of T cells are unchanged
• mature thymocytes, both CD4 single positive and CD8 single positive, are larger in size
• increase in CD4+ T cells in the blood
• mature thymocytes, both CD4 single positive and CD8 single positive, are larger in size
• large increase in the percentage and number of CD8 single positive thymocytes at 6 weeks of age
• increase in CD8+ T cells in the blood
• almost all peripheral CD8+ T cells but not CD4+ T cells appear as CD44ho, indicating that they exhibit a memory rather than activated phenotype
• lymph nodes contain 2-fold the number of cells in controls
