immune system
• the absolute numbers of transitional B cells are moderately reduced
|
• the number of NK cells found in the spleen is reduced by 62% compared to wild-type mice
|
• increased white blood count on non-fasted whole blood analysis (WBC = 15.39 x 10^3 cells per microliter)
|
• there is a dramatic increase in the absolute numbers of B1b cells found in the peritoneum compared to wild-type
• the percentage of B1-b cells in the peritoneum is more than 2-fold higher than in wild-type controls
|
• there are no marginal zone B cells found in the spleen
|
• germinal centers are absent from the spleen
|
• the marginal zone is absent in the spleen along with having poorly defined T cells and B cell zones
|
• Peyer's patches are absent in these mice
|
• mice lack all mesenteric lymph nodes
|
• mice lack all peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes and contain no peyer's patches
|
• small clusters of lymphocytes are observed in the livers of mice
|
• small clusters of lymphocytes are observed in the lungs of mice
