immune system
• reduced thymic cellularity
|
• thymocyte number is only about 1-2 x 106 cells at 4-5 weeks of age compared to 200-300 x 106 cells in wild-type mice
|
• defective alpha-beta and gamma-delta T cell development
|
• attenuated T cell response, putatively due to a decrease in the surface expression of mature TCR complexes
|
• expansion of an antigen-specific CD8 T cell population is completely abrogated after infection with influenza A virus
|
• polyclonal induction of cytotoxic T-cell activity under suboptimal conditions results in a reduction in the proliferative response of T cells and completely abolishes cytolytic activity of the effector T cells
|
• reduced T cell activation in response to anti-CD3epsilon mAb
|
• peripheral T cells show delayed proliferation and cytokine secretion in response to anti-CD3epsilon-mediated triggering, presumably due to impaired TCR complex expression
|
• reduced lymph node cellularity
|
