mortality/aging
• homozygous mice die at 3 to 4 weeks of age
|
immune system
• in mutants older than 12 days of age, thymi appear to have altered morphology
|
• there is an increase in the number of double negative thymocytes
|
• there is a decrease in the number of single positive thymocytes
|
• there is a decrease in the number of single positive thymocytes
|
• in visibly ill mice, decreased thymic cellularity is observed
|
hematopoietic system
• in mutants older than 12 days of age, thymi appear to have altered morphology
|
• there is an increase in the number of double negative thymocytes
|
