immune system
• nave and Th1 CD4+ T cells have a higher rate of proliferation when activated in vitro
|
• mice develop mild splenomegaly around 10 months of age
|
• Th1 T cells proliferate at a faster rate when activated in vitro
• proliferation rate is increased even more when Th1 cells are activated in the presence of IL-12 and IL-18
• Th1 T cells are resistant to activation-induced cell death caused by TCR stimulus without co-stimulation
• there is increased production of IFN-gamma by transplanted mutant T cells in the central nervous system of immunocompromised mice that have induced EAE

• there is increased production of IFN-gamma by transplanted mutant T cells in the central nervous system of immunocompromised mice that have induced EAE
|
• mice have a longer duration of peak disease than controls when mice are immunized with MOG peptide and a low dose of adjuvant
• 60% of mice die compared to none of controls when mice have EAE induced with MOG peptide and a high dose of adjuvant
• 100% of immunocompromised mice transplanted with mutant CD4+ T cells develop EAE after immunization compared to 43% of mice that were recipients of wild-type mice
• 71% of mice transplanted with mutant CD4+ T cells die from EAE after immunization compared to 14% for hosts with wild-type CD4+ T cells
|
• immune complex deposits are found in the glomeruli of 10 month old mice
