homeostasis/metabolism
• calcium flux in B cells responds more quickly to B cell receptor binding
|
mortality/aging
• reduced life expectancy
• 9 of 43 mice die between 7 and 15 months of age
|
immune system
• spleens are depleted of IgMhi, IgDhi B cells
• ncreased numbers of IgMlo, IgDhi B cells in the spleen
|
• B1 cell population in the peritoneum is doubled
|
• elevated activation of B cells in un-immunized mice
|
• calcium flux in B cells responds more quickly to B cell receptor binding
|
• augmented response to T-cell dependent antigens
|
• 50% of mice show elevated levels of multiple IgG subclasses
• by 18 months, 70% of mice have shown high titers of anti-DNA IgG (also 30% of heterozygotes at 12 months)
|
• in 80% of autoimmune mice
|
• elevated by 5 months
(J:76974)
• high titers particularly after 8 months
(J:76975)
