mortality/aging
• all mutants die shortly after birth of respiratory failure
(J:81588)
• die within 24 hours of birth
(J:82174)
|
immune system
• thymocytes develop normally in vivo, however thymocytes reconstituted into lethally irradiated wild-type mice are resistant to dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis
• thymocytes are more resistant than wild-type to anti-CD3epsilon-mediated thymocyte apoptosis in vivo due to lack of the prolonged peripheral glucocorticoid surge
|
respiratory system
• lung hypercellularity
|
• poor air space formation
|
hematopoietic system
• thymocytes develop normally in vivo, however thymocytes reconstituted into lethally irradiated wild-type mice are resistant to dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis
• thymocytes are more resistant than wild-type to anti-CD3epsilon-mediated thymocyte apoptosis in vivo due to lack of the prolonged peripheral glucocorticoid surge
|
cellular

endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymocytes develop normally in vivo, however thymocytes reconstituted into lethally irradiated wild-type mice are resistant to dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis
• thymocytes are more resistant than wild-type to anti-CD3epsilon-mediated thymocyte apoptosis in vivo due to lack of the prolonged peripheral glucocorticoid surge
