hematopoietic system
• PCR of bone marrow cell extracts detects decreased VH to DJH rearrangements with minimal decrease in D to JH rearrangements
|
• decreased immature IgM+ B cells
|
• arrest of B cell development is less severe than in Ihgtm1Fwa homozygotes and is evidenced by increased bone marrow B220int CD43+ pro-B cells and a decrease in B220+ CD43int pre-B cells
|
small spleen
(
J:101400
)
• 50% reduction in total number of splenocytes
|
immune system
N |
• normal Peyers patches
• mature peripheral B cells have normal surface IgM and IgD expresssion
• Peripheral and thymic T cells are present in normal numbers and proportions
• normal somatic hypermutation frequency is found in Peyers patch germinal center B cells
• class switching is, at most, modestly diminished in LPS or anti-CD40/IL4 induced splenocytes
