• relative weight of the heart is increased
|
• progressive development of alveolar hemorrhage, with small hemorrhagic foci first seen at 2-3 days of age
|
respiratory system
• progressive development of alveolar hemorrhage, with small hemorrhagic foci first seen at 2-3 days of age
|
• exhibit nodular pulmonary remodeling, consisting of multiple foci composed of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, large macrophages, and some proteinaceous deposits
• starting at 2-3 days of age, exhibit progressive development of pulmonary lesions, showing macrophages undergoing erythrophagocytosis and granulocytic inflammation
|
• absolute and relative weight of lung is increased
|
• distal airspaces are almost completely filled with macrophages and show accumulations of eosinophilic and neutrophilic granulocytes
|
• distal air spaces are severely enlarged with little septation
|
• commonly observe respiratory distress in adults, characterized by rapid and short breathing movements
|
vision/eye
• absolute and relative weight of eyes is increased
• mutants do not display macroscopically visible eye alterations, however histological examination shows comparable alterations to those seen in Line 2, mainly affecting the lens and retina
