mortality/aging
• mice die between 2 and 4 months of age
|
hematopoietic system
• significantly reduced at 2 weeks relative to Ightm1(PAX5)Mbu homozygotes
|
• number of erythroid precursors in bone marrow decreases to 1/20 of control numbers by 8 weeks of age
|
• at 8 weeks, number of pro-B cells is still 3.5-fold greater than controls
|
• significantly reduced at 2 weeks relative to Ightm1(PAX5)Mbu homozygotes
|
• at E18.5, there are ~7-fold more B lymphocytes than in controls
|
immune system
• significantly reduced at 2 weeks relative to Ightm1(PAX5)Mbu homozygotes
|
• at 8 weeks, number of pro-B cells is still 3.5-fold greater than controls
|
• significantly reduced at 2 weeks relative to Ightm1(PAX5)Mbu homozygotes
|
• at E18.5, there are ~7-fold more B lymphocytes than in controls
|
neoplasm
• lymphoid organs show diffuse infiltration by diffuse lymphoblastic lymphoma
• extensive tumor infiltrates are found in other organs including heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, intestine and testis
