hematopoietic system
• increased numbers of Mac-1+Gr-1+ myeloid suppressor cells (20-fold increase) and other myelogranulocytic cell types (Mac-1+Gr-1- and Gr-1+Mac-1- subsets) in the spleen and lymph node
|
• the numbers of CD11c+Mac-1+ dendritic cells were significantly increased in the peripheral lymph node but not the spleen
|
• the numbers of CD11c-Mac-1+ monocytes was increased in the spleen and lymph node
|
• adult homozygotes have an abnormal population of NK cells that expresses 10-fold higher surface levels of the NK receptor, Klrb1c (NK1.1) and have altered expression of MHC receptors
• NK cells survive longer than in wild-type
|
• two- to three-fold increase in peripheral NK cells in homozygous adult mice relative to wild-type
|
• irradiated splenocytes and lymph node cells failed to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation and production of IL-2 in BALB/c splenocytes and lymph node cells indicating that homozygous null cells fail to present and prime an allogeneic T cell reasponse
• splenocytes do not process and present MHC class II-restricted T cell epitopes
• homozygous null myeloid suppressor cells suppress the ability of dendritic cells to prime allogeneic T cell responses

• homozygotes did not reject allogeneic bone marrow transplants and had a normal life span and did not develop acute or chronic GVHD
(J:94861)
• homozygotes failed to reject fully mismatched allogeneic marrow grafts and survived the bone marrow transplant without developing graft vs host disease (GVHD) compared to less than half of wild-type surviving
(J:95215)
