immune system
• reduced thymic cellularity
|
• transition from pro-B to pre-B modestly impaired
• reduced overall level of heavy chain VDJ rearrangements in pro-B cells
• order in which heavy chain VDJ rearrangements occur is frequently abnormal
|
• transition from pro-T to pre-T cells is impaired
|
• high percentage of double negative pro-T cells, particularly CD25+CD44- (DN3)stage
• approximately normal distribution of double positive and single positive cells
|
• splenic B cells reduced about 50%
|
