ht1

• Allelic Composition: Jchain^tm3Tl/Jchain⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: 129P2/OlaHsd

• ♀: phenotype observed in females
• ♂: phenotype observed in males
• N: normal phenotype

immune system

decreased plasma cell number ( J:49168 )

• the number of IgM plaque forming cells in the bone marrow and spleen are reduced

• following LPS-induced proliferation of spleen cells, the number of IgM plaque forming cells is reduced but overall proliferation is similar to wild-type

impaired complement classical pathway ( J:49168 )

• inefficient activation of complement by serum IgM

abnormal immune cell physiology ( J:49168 )

• accumulation of Ig is seen in LPS-stimulated spleen cells suggesting a defect in assembly or secretion of Ig

abnormal B cell physiology ( J:56158 )

• IgA and IgM levels are decreased in gut lavage compared to wild-type mice

• oral immunization with cholera toxin-induced gut lavage levels of IgA are reduced compared to wild-type but higher than in homozygotes

increased IgA level ( J:56158 )

decreased IgM level ( J:49168 , J:56158 )

• at 12 weeks of age, but serum IgA levels are similar to wild-type (J:49168)

• high molecular mass IgM is absent from the serum indicating absence of the pentameric form of IgM that is found in wild-type mice (J:49168)

increased susceptibility to bacterial infection ( J:56158 )

• mice orally immunized with cholera toxin display reduced gut antitoxic protection compared to immunized wild-type mice but are more protected than immunized homozygotes

hematopoietic system

decreased plasma cell number ( J:49168 )

• the number of IgM plaque forming cells in the bone marrow and spleen are reduced

• following LPS-induced proliferation of spleen cells, the number of IgM plaque forming cells is reduced but overall proliferation is similar to wild-type

abnormal B cell physiology ( J:56158 )

• IgA and IgM levels are decreased in gut lavage compared to wild-type mice

• oral immunization with cholera toxin-induced gut lavage levels of IgA are reduced compared to wild-type but higher than in homozygotes

increased IgA level ( J:56158 )

decreased IgM level ( J:49168 , J:56158 )

• at 12 weeks of age, but serum IgA levels are similar to wild-type (J:49168)

• high molecular mass IgM is absent from the serum indicating absence of the pentameric form of IgM that is found in wild-type mice (J:49168)
