growth/size/body
• mice have growth retardation compared to controls
|
immune system
• immature "Fraction C" pro-B cell numbers in the bone marrow are slightly decreased at 6- and 8- weeks of age
|
• immature "Fraction A" pro-B cell numbers in the bone marrow are almost double that of controls at 4 weeks of age
• culturing bone marrow cells with IL-7 leads to 75% development of "Fraction C" pro-B cells compared to 50% in controls
|
• T1 transitional B cell numbers are increased 6-fold in the spleen of 8 week old mice
|
• the number of recirculating mature B cells in the bone marrow of 8 week old mice is about half that of controls
|
• spleen follicular zone areas are slightly but significantly decreased
|
• marginal zones are 1.8-fold larger in area than controls
|
• marginal zone B cell numbers are 4-fold higher than controls
|
• sera levels of IgG1 are increased 3-fold over controls
• there is also a 2-fold increase in IgG1 levels following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen as compared to controls
|
• there is a 2-fold increase in IgG2a/c levels following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen as compared to controls
|
• there is a 2-fold increase in IgG2b levels following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen as compared to controls
|
• there is a 2-fold increase in IgG2a/c levels following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen as compared to controls
|
• sera levels of IgG3 are increased 3-fold over controls
|
• there is a 2-fold increase in IgM levels following immunization with a T cell-dependent antigen as compared to controls
