hematopoietic system
• increased macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by week 6, dramatically increased at week 16
• patchy subpleural areas with abnormal macrophage accumulations, becoming very extensive by week 16
|
• alveolar macrophages grossly enlarged by week 16
|
immune system
• increased macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by week 6, dramatically increased at week 16
• patchy subpleural areas with abnormal macrophage accumulations, becoming very extensive by week 16
|
• alveolar macrophages grossly enlarged by week 16
|
respiratory system
• progressive accumulation of phospholipids and protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, significantly greater than in wild-type mice by week 6
• by week 16 accumulation of airspace secretions at significant levels
|
• alveolar macrophages grossly enlarged by week 16
|
• abnormal cellular accumulations arising from alveoli and extending into the alveolar space by week 16
• enlarged air spaces and considerable size variability
|
• epithelial surface area decreased indicating a loss of gas exchange surface per unit volume
|
• septal thickening by week 16
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• progressive accumulation of phospholipids in broncheolar lavage fluid is seen
