hematopoietic system
• B cell differentiation in the marginal and follicular zones of the spleen is impaired
|
• impaired
|
• the number of B220high IgM+ B cells in the bone marrow is less than 40% of wild-type littermates
|
• the number of mature B cells but not nave B cells is decreased in the spleen
|
• germinal center B cell are absent
|
• the total number of cells in the spleen is decreased
|
• impaired
|
• IgA mean concentration is decreased to 25% of wild-type
|
• IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 mean concentrations are decreased to 31%, 5%, 33%, and 4% of wild-type, respectively
• mutants fail to increase IgG1, IgG3 in response to antigen stimulation
|
• IgM levels are increased 5 fold in mutants
