hematopoietic system
• homozygous mice older than 6 months develop enlarged spleens
|
• associated with the increased germinal center formation is an increase in GL-7+ B cells and CD23+ follicular B cells
|
• an increase in CD23+ follicular B cells is seen
|
• homozygous mice display increased numbers of large, well-formed germinal centers compared to wild-type mice
• no evidence of autoimmune-mediated organ damage is seen despite the spontaneous formation of germinal centers
|
• serum levels of IgE are increased in homozygotes compared to wild-type mice
|
• associated with the increased germinal center formation is an increase IgG1+ foci
• serum levels of IgG1 are increased in homozygotes compared to wild-type mice
|
• serum levels of IgG2a are increased in homozygotes compared to wild-type mice
|
• following antigen stimulation increased development of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is seen in homozygotes
• 3 - 4 days after T cell receptor activation CD4+ and CD8+ T cells display increased cell cycling, enhanced proliferation, and increased cytokine production compared to T cells from wild-type mice
• negative selection of T cells is unaffected in homozygous mice
