mortality/aging
• 30% die between E18.5 and birth because of exencephaly

nervous system
exencephaly
(
J:85147
)
• incomplete penetrance, mice exhibiting exencephaly die in utero
|
hematopoietic system
• decrease in follicular and marginal zone B cell proliferation
• proliferation of marginal zone B lymphocytes, but not follicular B cells, in response to stimulation with LPS is decreased compared to wild-type cells
|
• the conversion of transitional type 2 to mature follicular B cells is impaired, resulting in decreases in marginal zone and B1 B cells
|
• population of total B cells (B220+) is decreased in bone marrow and spleen
|
• population of recirculating mature B cells (IgM+B200hi) is decreased in bone marrow
|
• decrease in mature follicular B cells due to impaired transition from type 2 to mature follicular B cells
|
• marginal zone B cells are unable to capture TNP-Ficoll, a T cell-independent antigen
• marginal zone B cells fail to activate NF-kappaB efficiently after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

• marginal zone B cells fail to activate NF-kappaB efficiently after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
|
• failure to initiate humoral responses leading to an inability to clear blood-borne bacteria
• fail to produce any TNP-specific antibodies in response to either TNP-Ficoll (T cell-independent antigen) or TNP-KLH (T cell-dependent antigen)
|
• mutants are unable to efficiently clear S. pneumoniae bacteria from the bloodstream and die within 12 days of infection
