immune system
• proliferation and cytokine production by CD4+ T cells is reduced compared to wild-type
|
• in vitro, dendritic cells poorly stimulate allogeneic T cell compared with wild-type; ability of dendritic cells to stimulate antigen-specific T cells is impaired
|
skeleton
• cellularity is reduced in the long bones in null mice
|
• long bones have increased trabecular mass compared to wild-type
|
hematopoietic system
• proliferation and cytokine production by CD4+ T cells is reduced compared to wild-type
