mortality/aging
• slight reduction in survival
|
• 15% homozygotes born rather than 25% expected when heterozygous parents mated
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• eosinophilic infiltrates in the pancreas of some animals with blepharitis
|
hematopoietic system
• splenocyte numbers are increased 80%
• spleen architecture otherwise normal
|
• increased numbers of single positive CD4 and CD8 cells but T cell development is otherwise normal
|
• with the exceptions noted, baseline levels of the various isotypes were normal
|
• after immunization total IgE was elevated
|
• baseline levels of IgG1 only were elevated
• after immunization, antigen specific IgG1 levels were elevated
|
• CD4 cells overproduce Il4 and Il2
|

blepharitis
(
J:93591
)
• swelling and erythema of the eyelid in about 30% of animals
