homeostasis/metabolism

|
hematopoietic system
• evidence of degranulation of mast cells in the skin
|
• increased mast cell number in the skin

immune system
• evidence of degranulation of mast cells in the skin
|
• increased mast cell number in the skin
|
• increased serum levels of IgE
|
• increased IL-6 release in response to high affinity IgE receptor aggregation
|
• increased TNF release in response to high affinity IgE receptor aggregation
|
• mice surviving to adulthood develop severe skin inflammation
• detectable microscopically by 3-4 weeks af age and grossly by 6-8 weeks
|
integument
• dermal inflammation with increased vascularity
|
• intracellular edema in the epidermis
