immune system
N |
• defective negative selection of T cells observed in one study is not observed in this study
|
• mean thymic cellularity is increased about 10% at 6-7 weeks of age
|
• anti-CD3 fails to induce apoptosis of CD4+CD8+ thymocytes in vivo, or in fetal thymic organ culture
|
• there are higher levels of antigen-specific IgG1 in mice immunized with collagen compared to controls
|
• there are higher levels of antigen-specific IgG2a in mice immunized with collagen compared to controls
|
• splenocyte IFN-gamma secretion is enhanced from collagen-immunized mice upon reencounter with antigen compared to controls
|
• splenocyte IL-2 secretion is enhanced from collagen-immunized mice upon reencounter with antigen compared to controls
|
• streptozotocin induced diabetes has an earlier onset, higher incidence and is more severe than in controls mice
• onset of disease is first detected 20 days after injection compared to over 30 days for controls
• incidence reaches 80% versus 40% of controls
• insulitis and islet destruction is much more severe than in streptozotocin-injected wild-type mice
|
• mice have increased susceptibility to EAE induced by peptide derived from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)
• 2 of 6 mice die within 40 days of MOG administration compared to none of the wild-type controls
• mean maximal disease score and cumulative disease scores are significantly higher than controls
|
• mice develop severe arthritis 4 weeks after collagen immunization compared to C57BL/6 controls that do not develop disease
• arthritis is characterized by footpad swelling, pannus formation, cartilage destruction of paw joints
