hematopoietic system
• in clonal cultures of mutant bone marrow cells, even high concentrations of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-5 fail to stimulate colony formation, but cells show normal responsiveness to stimulation by IL-3 and other growth factors
|
• eosinophil numbers in the peripheral blood and bone marrow are reduced by 95%
|
immune system
• eosinophil numbers in the peripheral blood and bone marrow are reduced by 95%
|
• develop pulmonary peribronchovascular lymphoid infiltrates and intraalveolar eosinophilic material and foamy macrophages are present
|
respiratory system
• mutants exhibit areas resembling alveolar proteinosis
|
• develop pulmonary peribronchovascular lymphoid infiltrates and intraalveolar eosinophilic material and foamy macrophages are present
