endocrine/exocrine glands
• cortical area atrophic
|
• decreased cellularity
|
• 20-25% as many mature follicles as in normal controls
|
growth/size/body
• females slightly smaller than normal, 15% smaller at 12 weeks of age
|
hematopoietic system
• reduced proliferative response in T cells
|
• cortical area atrophic
|
• decreased cellularity
|
• megakaryocytes in spleen reduced to about 1/3 normal
|
• peripheral RBC count reduced about 15%
|
• higher hemoglobin concentration per cell, overall concentration normal
|
• slight increase in CD4+ and CD8+ single positive cells
|
• some mice with decreased granulocytes, macrophage, neutrophiles or platelets
• peripheral lymphocytes and ratios are normal
|
• decreased cell density in the red pulp
|
small spleen
(
J:92529
)
• 35-40% of cell in erythroid lineage as opposed to 70-75% normally
