immune system
• increased numbers of pro-B cells are seen in the bone marrow and spleen
|
• a significant decrease in the Ly6-G+ CD11b+ population is seen
|
• decreased in the spleen but not in the bone marrow
|
• increased numbers of pre-B cells are seen in the bone marrow and spleen
|
• homozygous males but not females are significantly more susceptible to LPS-induced lethality compared to sex-matched wild-type mice
