phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
immune system
• specific IgG antibodies are almost undetectable in SRBC immunized mutants, indicating defective class switching
• 2-3 fold increase in the number of leukocytes in the spleen, blood, and peritoneal cavity
• spleen architecture is severely disturbed
• distribution of lymphocytes and their functional compartmentalization are severely disorganized in the spleen, with IgD+ B cells scattered along red and white pulp and T cells mostly condensed around central arterioles
• absence of polarized B-cell follicles
• do not form germinal centers
• gradual reduction of white pulp size
• specific IgG antibodies are almost undetectable in SRBC immunized mutants
• increased susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes infections, with mutants dying by day 8 while wild-type mice survive
• increased susceptibility to Salmonella enterica infection
