cellular
• murine embryonic fibroblasts are more sensitive to UV radiation than wild-type cells; sensitivity is same as that of Xpctm1Ecf homozygous cells
|
• male mutants display higher rate of spontaneous germline expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) mutations (2-fold) relative to isogenic BALB/cJ wild-type males
|
immune system
N |
• mutants have normal B and T cell populations in blood and spleen
• humoral immune response to a T-cell dependent antigen is normal
• germinal center B cells show normal somatic hypermutation

homeostasis/metabolism
• male mutants display higher rate of spontaneous germline expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) mutations (2-fold) relative to isogenic BALB/cJ wild-type males
