hematopoietic system
• there is a 2- to 4- fold reduction in the number of mature recirculating B cells found in the bone marrow
• the IgMlowIgD+ mature B cell population is strongly diminished in the spleen by 3- to 4- fold
• B cell numbers in the lymph nodes are also strongly reduced
|
• B-1 B cell numbers are strongly decreased in the peritoneum cavity
|
• follicular B cells are the most diminished B cell population in the spleen
|
• marginal zone B cell numbers are reduced about 4-fold
|
