cellular
• B cells derived form homozygous mice are 2-3 fold more sensitive to gamma-irradiation than controls
|
immune system
• CD40 dependent class switching to IgE isotype is reduced 5-8 fold in homozygous mice
|
• reduced IgE levels (6-7 fold lower) in homozygous mice before immunization and 3-4 fold lower after immunization
|
• homozygous mice develop autoantibodies at a higher frequency than controls
|
hematopoietic system
