mortality/aging
• all die by 4 weeks of age
• most mice die between P21 and P26
|
behavior/neurological
limb grasping
(
J:61085
)
• clasping reflex
|
growth/size/body
• by 3 days of age, animals were smaller and thinner than controls; progressive increase in difference with age was noted
|
hematopoietic system
• the few mature T cells underwent apoptosis and failed to proliferate in response to PMA and ionomycin
|
small thymus
(
J:61085
)
• composed mostly of cortex, with degenerating cells and a sparse medulla
|
• progressive reduction with age
|
• reduced numbers of triple negative immature thymocytes
|
• mutant thymocytes were mostly blocked at the double-positive stage
|
small spleen
(
J:61085
)
• contained shrunken white pulp
|
immune system
