hematopoietic system
• B cell progenitors blocked at the pro- to pre-B cell transition
|
• reduced numbers of B cells, about 34 fold at 5 weeks and 7 fold at 6 months of age
|
• follicular B cells more reduced than marginal zone B cells
|
• marginal zone B cells increase 7 fold between 5 and 25 weeks of age as opposed to a 3 fold increase in controls
|
• IgA levels were 2X those found in heterozygotes
|
• IgG1 levels were reduced 5 fold from levels in heterozygotes
