immune system

abnormal B cell physiology ( J:113556 )

• there is about a 25% reduction in the number of B cells that survive 36 hours of in vitro culturing compared to controls

• addition of Tnfsf13b (BAFF) to the culture slightly elevates survival but not to the same extent as with wild-type B cells

endocrine/exocrine glands

abnormal mammary gland growth during pregnancy ( J:90978 )

• virgin females complete normal ductal development, however, on day 1 after delivery, the lobuloalveolar network in mammary gland is severely underdeveloped, with minimal side branching and alveoli sprouting of ducts

abnormal mammary gland epithelium morphology ( J:90978 )

• epithelial cell proliferation is impaired, with the proliferation rate in the mammary epithelium about half of the wild-type rate at P10 and decreased even further on day 1 after delivery

• most of the proliferation rate decrease is due to reduced proliferation of lobuloalveolar cells

abnormal mammary gland alveolus morphology ( J:90978 )

• number of secretory alveoli is reduced and the alveoli are small with small or closed lumina in females on day 1 after delivery

abnormal lactation ( J:90978 )

• all pups born to mutant mothers die within 1-2 days, and despite normal nursing pups do not contain milk in stomachs, indicating a lactation defect

reproductive system

immune system

increased transitional stage B cell number ( J:113556 )

• numbers of T2 B cells are slightly enlarged in the spleen

decreased marginal zone B cell number ( J:113556 )

• marginal zone B cell numbers are reduced compared to controls

absent spleen marginal zone ( J:113556 )

• marginal zones could not be localized in these mice

abnormal B cell activation ( J:113556 )

• B cells have a strong response to T cell independent antigens producing higher levels of antigen-specific IgM, IgG2a, IgG2b class antibodies than wild-type controls

• however, there is no significant elevation of antigen-specific IgG1, IgG3, and IgA antibodies as is observed in transgenic mice on a wild-type background

• levels of antibodies produced are also lower than those in transgenic mice on a wild-type background

increased anti-double stranded DNA antibody level ( J:113556 )

• anti-dsDNA antibodies of the IgM class are found in circulation

• titers of these auto-antibodies increase slightly with age

• no significantly elevated anti-dsDNA antibodies are found within the other immunoglobulin classes which differs from transgenic mice not homozygote for the Chuk^tm2Mka allele

homeostasis/metabolism

increased urine protein level ( J:113556 )

• about half of 8-month old mice have proteinuria in their urine at 30 mg/dl concentration

renal/urinary system

increased urine protein level ( J:113556 )

• about half of 8-month old mice have proteinuria in their urine at 30 mg/dl concentration
