hematopoietic system
• thymus exhibits loss of the histological demarcation between the medulla and the cortex
|
• percentage of bone marrow CFU-GM (granulocyte-macrophage) in S-phase is increased 2.4-fold while percentage of spleen CFU-GM is increased 18.5-fold; the increase in cycling progenitors is associated with respective increases of 24% and 47% in absolute numbers of CFU-GM in the marrow and spleen
|
• percentage of bone marrow CFU-GEMM in S-phase is increased 2.7-fold while percentage of spleen CFU-GEMM is increased 40-fold; the increase in cycling progenitors is associated with respective increases of 29% and 80% in absolute numbers of CFU-GEMM in the marrow and spleen
|
• 2-fold decrease in the relative percentage of CD25+CD44- thymocytes in the CD4CD8 double-negative population of T progenitors and a concomitant 2-fold increase in CD25-CD44- cells
|
• percentage of bone marrow BFU-E in S-phase is increased 3.1-fold while percentage of spleen BFU-E is increased 23-fold; the increase in cycling progenitors is associated with respective increases of 55% and 94% in absolute numbers of BFU-E in the marrow and spleen
|
• 6-fold increase in CD8+ thymocytes
|
• general leukopenia due to decreased T cells in the peripheral blood
|
• decrease in absolute lymphocytes
|
• decrease in peripheral blood T cells, especially CD8+ cells
|
• 1.5-fold decrease in double-positive thymocytes
