mortality/aging
• most die before 6 months of age
|
immune system
• reduced to about 5 - 10% of wild-type cell number at 2 weeks of age
|
• increase in the percentage but not total number of double negative cell in the thymus at 2 weeks of age
|
• reduced percentage and number in the thymus and spleen at 2 weeks of age
|
• most of the CD4+ T cells appear to be activated
• mice contain a higher percentage of proliferating T cells and these cells appear to be resistant to TCR-mediated cell death
|
• reduced percentage and number in the thymus and spleen at 2 weeks of age
(J:77099)
• increased numbers found in the thymus, spleen and other organs by 4 weeks of age
(J:77099)
• about 44% of splenocytes are CD4+ cells
(J:116157)
|
• reduced percentage and number in the thymus and spleen at 2 weeks of age
|
• increase in IgG1
|
• proliferate poorly in response to anti-CD3 stimulation but proliferation in response to phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin or anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 is similar to wild-type
|
• T cells proliferate in response to ionomycin alone and in response to IL-2 alone unlike wild-type cells
|
small thymus
(
J:77099
)
• at 2 weeks of age
• in older mice thymi are very small and contain a high of CD4+ T cells and B cells
|
• at 4 weeks of age
(J:77099)
• contains primarily CD4+ T cells and elevated numbers of B cells, macrophages, and eosinophils
(J:77099)
• enlarged at 11 weeks of age
(J:116157)
|
• toal splenocyte number is (3.6 +/- 0.2) x 108 compared to (2.0 +/- 0.2) x 108 in Lat single homozygotes and (2.7 +/- 0.2) x 107 in wild-type mice
|
• at 4 weeks of age
(J:77099)
• contains primarily CD4+ T cells and elevated numbers of B cells, macrophages, and eosinophils
(J:77099)
• enlarged at 11 weeks of age
(J:116157)
|
• T cells produce very low levels of cytokines when stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies, but when stimulated with PMA and ionomycin produce more IL-4 compared to wild-type mice
|
• increased levels of DNA autoantibodies
|
• increased levels nuclear antigen autoantibodies
|
• high titers of dsDNA antibodies are present at 10 weeks of age
|
