immune system
• slight, but significant, reduction in mature recirculating B cells in the bone marrow
|
• reduction of B-1a cells in the peritoneal cavity, restricted to the CD5+ IgM+ B-1a population
|
• increase in T cell-independent antigen response; when mutants are immunized with T-I antigens, they show a significant increase of anti-TNP, IgM, IgG1, and IgG3 compared to wild-type, indicating enhanced T-I immune responses
|
• B2 cells develop normally but mature B cells are hyperproliferative in response to B cell receptor cross-linking or anti-IgM F(ab')2 stimulation
|
• in the presence of extracellular calcium, a greater calcium influx is seen in mature B cells than in wild-type, indicating enhanced calcium mobilization
|
• aged (6-7 months old), but not young, mice have a slight, but significant, increase of serum IgM
|
• aged mice have higher titers of anti-nuclear antigen IgM
|
hematopoietic system
• B2 cells develop normally but mature B cells are hyperproliferative in response to B cell receptor cross-linking or anti-IgM F(ab')2 stimulation
|
• slight, but significant, reduction in mature recirculating B cells in the bone marrow
|

homeostasis/metabolism
• in the presence of extracellular calcium, a greater calcium influx is seen in mature B cells than in wild-type, indicating enhanced calcium mobilization

cellular
