immune system
small thymus
(
J:118450
)
• normal medullary and corical zone morphology despite reduced size
|
• cell number in the thymus is reduced to 10% of normal mice
|
• in the thymus, the ratios of CD4 to CD8 cells were slightly increased with the absolute percentages of these cells similar to controls
• in the spleen, the ratios are normal, despite an overall absolute reduction of T cells by 80%
|
• CBC of 1.50 x 103 WBC/l at 8 weeks of age
(J:82961)
• retesting at 10 weeks of age confirmed leukopenia, with 2.51 x 103 WBC/l
(J:82961)
• nonfasted WBC is 1.5 x 103 WBC/l
(J:118450)
|
• 80% reduction in the absolute number of T cells in the spleen, suggesting defects in T cell proliferation and expansion
|
small spleen
(
J:118450
)
• grossly normal architecture despite small size
|
• cell number in the spleen is reduced to 40% of normal mice
|
• detectable, but markedly reduced in size
|
