hematopoietic system
• percentage of common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) in bone marrow is reduced 50-95% compared to heterozygous mice
|
• pro-B cells are completely absent in mutants
|
• dendritic cell precursors in bone marrow are reduced ~5-fold compared to heterozygotes
|
• pre-B cells are virtually undetectable in mutants
|
• splenic natural killer cells are reduced 3-fold compared to heterozygotes

cellular
• frequencies of apoptotic cells are low, but a 2-fold accumulation of dead pre- pro- B cells over controls is observed in mutants
|
• CLPs and pre- pro- B cells from mutants exhibit 2-fold greater proliferation compared to controls
