immune system
• thymus lacks distinct cortico-medullary junction
|
• thymus is small with 10 to 50-fold fewer cells than control
|
• VK-JK2 rearrangements are severely reduced
|
• D-JH4 and VH7193-DJH4 rearrangements are severely reduced
|
• B cell development is arrested at pro-B cell stage (B220+ CD43+ IgM-)
|
• Valpha8-Jalpha50 rearrangements are undetectable
|
• rearrangements of Vbeta8-DJbeta2.6 are rare in thymocytes and detected only at low levels in the spleen
|
• coding join formation for Ddelta2-Jdelta1 is detectable by PCR, but Vdelta1-DJdelta1 is undetectable in thymocytes
|
• thymocytes display an accumulation of pre-T cells (CD44- CD25+)
|
• accumulation of double positive T cells is highest in 8 day old mice and represents 43-45% of total thymocytes
|
• mature T cells are not detected in periphery of 2 week old animals
|
• splenic population of Mac-1+ (myeloid) and DX5+ (natural killer) cells is increased
|
• splenic population of single positive T cells is less than 5% in spleen of 6 week old mice
|
• spleen is small with 5 fold fewer cells than control
|
• splenic white pulp nodules are reduced in size
|
• serum IgM cannot be detected in 2 week old mice
|
• lymph nodes are reduced in size
|
