immune system
• CD4+ single positive thymocyte maturation is blocked leading to defective CD4+ T cell generation
|
• a block in CD4+ single-positive thymocyte development without increased CD8+ single- or CD4+/ CD8+ double-positive thymocytes
|
• a selective 75% to 90% reduction in peripheral CD4+ T cells, predominantly within the naive set
• numbers of naive CD44lowCD4+ T cells in blood and spleen are reduced by 84-93%
|
• mice show a 22% reduction in swelling of oxazolone-challenged ear, indicating impaired contact hypersensitivity responses, however the ability of DC to induce allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro is normal
|
• mutants have reduced humoral immune responses following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgA following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgG1 following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgG2a following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgG2b following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgG3 following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
|
• decrease in IgM following challenge with a T cell-dependent antigen, DNP-KLH
