mortality/aging
• homozygous mice die shortly after birth
|
hematopoietic system
• in adult Rag-1 deficient mice in which the immune system has been reconstituted with fetal liver stem cells from mutants peripheral B cells appear mature but behave as immature B cells in response to B cell receptor signaling
|
• in adult Rag-1 deficient mice in which the immune system has been reconstituted with fetal liver stem cells from mutants the proportion of B cells is significantly reduced
|
• these mice also lack peritoneal B-1 cells
|
• in adult Rag-1 deficient mice in which the immune system has been reconstituted with fetal liver stem cells from mutants an 8 - 10 fold reduction in immunoglobulin concentrations is seen
