hematopoietic system
• TCRbetahi and CD69+ T cells are diminished in mutant thymi, implying a defect in the TCR signaling necessary for positive selection
|
• although homozygous mutant mice have normal overall numbers of B cells and of bone marrow B220+CD19+ cells, their bone marrow contains reduced numbers of B220loCD19+ cells
• numbers of IgM+IgD-, IgM+IgD+ and IgD+CD21(CR2)+ B cells in mutant bone marrow are slightly diminished
|
• expression of co-receptors on homozygous mutant SP T cells is 1.5-fold higher than on SP T cells of control mice
|
• DP thymocytes of mutant mice have 2.5-fold higher expression of CD4 and CD8 on their surfaces than do those of controls
• CD5 is down-regulated on DP thymocytes and up-regulated on peripheral T cells of mutant mice
• TCRbeta is elevated on DP thymocytes and down-regulated on mature T cells of mutant mice
|
• mutant thymocytes are blocked in their maturation from DP to SP T cells; this is atributed to a defect in thymic selection
|
• in mutant mice, there is a reduction in the proportion of naive CD8+ T cells and a shift toward an activated/memory CD8+ T cell phenotype
|
• peripheral T cell numbers of mutant mice are reduced
|
• thymi of homozygous mutant mice contain 3-fold fewer CD4+ CD8+ (DP) thymocytes than those of controls
|
• thymi of homozygous mutant mice contain 10-fold fewer SP CD4+ CD8- thymocytes than those of controls
|
• thymi of homozygous mutant mice contain 5-fold fewer SP CD4- CD8+ cells than those of controls
• homozygous mutant mice have a dramatic reduction in CD8+ CD44lo T cell numbers
