hematopoietic system
N |
• unlike Chediak-Hiagashi syndrome patients or beige mice, mutant mice displayed no coagulation defects
|
|
• neutral-SMase activation was completely abrogated in TNF-treated thymocytes from homozygous null mice
• in contrast, the activation of acid-SMase in TNF-treated mutant thymocytes remained intact
|
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
N |
• analysis of cell surface antigens revealed a normal cellular composition and distribution: T- and B-lymphocytes, and natural killer cells were present at a normal frequency relative to wild-type
• mutant mice showed no impairment in the killing activity of NK cells or CTL
• mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer's patches appeared histologically normal
|
|
• neutral-SMase activation was completely abrogated in TNF-treated thymocytes from homozygous null mice
• in contrast, the activation of acid-SMase in TNF-treated mutant thymocytes remained intact
|
integument
|
• homozygous null mice were viable and showed no obvious signs of disease until at least 40 weeks of age, but displayed a slight increase in the basal level of trans-epidermal water loss
• following destruction of the permeability barrier by tape stripping, mutants exhibited a significant delay in cutaneous barrier repair
• analysis of epidermal proliferation indicated that the fraction of BrdU positive cells after cutaneous barrier disruption was significantly reduced
