mortality/aging
• although found in normal Mendelian ratios at E18.5, only 2% of mice are present at weaning compared to the expected 25%

immune system
N |
• despite impaired B cell development and activation, recombination of the heavy chain locus and BCR complex function are normal
|
• following activation with anti-IgM
|
• B cells fail to proliferate in response to anti-IgM unlike wild-type cells
• B cell proliferation in response to LPS is decreased compared to wild-type cells
|
• early B cell development is impaired at both the IgM+ and IgM- stages
• splenic B cell development in Rag2 null chimeras is impaired
|
• the percentage of B220+IgM- pro-B cells in bone marrow is reduced to 31% compared to 37% in wild-type mice
|
• the percentage of B220+CD43+ pro-B cells in bone marrow is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• the percentage of CD43+ pro-B cells in bone marrow is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• bone marrow and fetal livers contain fewer B220+ B cells than in wild-type mice
• the number of B220+CD43- B cells in the femur is decreased 6-fold compared to in wild-type mice
• the number of B220+CD43+ B cells in the femur is decreased 2-fold compared to in wild-type mice
• the number of B220+CD43+ B cells in the fetal liver is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the percentage of B220+CD43-IgM+ B cells in bone marrow is reduced to 15% compared to 36% in wild-type mice
