cellular
• mutant embryonic fibroblasts show a reduced number of actively mitotic cells in either the S or G2/M phase
|
• mutant embryonic fibroblasts show a reduced growth rate and lower saturation density
|
growth/size/body
• after weaning mutants gain weight at a reduced rate while maintaining constant organ to body mass ratios
|
hematopoietic system
• spleen T cell and B cell percentages are normal but CD4+/CD8+ ratios are elevated due to a slight but significant reduction in CD3+CD8+ T cells
|
immune system
• spleen T cell and B cell percentages are normal but CD4+/CD8+ ratios are elevated due to a slight but significant reduction in CD3+CD8+ T cells
|
• clearance of fungal infection is delayed in mutants compared to wild-type mice
• following fungal infection the proportion of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen is significantly reduced
• response to mitogens and viral infection is normal
