immune system
• no differences in the number of bone marrow B cells
|
• increase in the number of transitional B cells in the spleen
|
• increased number of B-2 cells, but not B-1 cells, from the peritoneal cavity
|
• increase in the number of follicular B cells in the spleen
|
• the proportion of marginal zone relative to transitional and follicular B cells is reduced, although the absolute number of marginal zone B cells is normal
|
• B cells show partial resistance to apoptotic stimuli, including cytokine withdrawal and BCR crosslinking, but are just as sensitive to VP16 and gamma-irradiation induced cell death as wild-type
