mortality/aging
• in response to LPS and D-GalN administration, percentage of severely moribund mice reaches 50% at 7 hours; percentage reaches 100% at 8 hours
• these data are significantly different from that for conventional Ltatm1Dch mice
|
immune system
• in response to LPS, mice produce wild-type levels of TNF instead of the expected decrease
• bone marrow derived macrophages unexpectedly produce normal levels of TNF when stimulated
|
• mice lack all sets of peripheral lymph nodes
|
• mice exhibit splenomegaly
|
• spatial segregation of B and T cells appears more organized than in Ltatm1Dch knockouts
|
• 19 days after immunization with OVA, mice display an isotype switch to IgG from IgM that is several fold decreased compared to wild-type
|
• white pulp is bigger than in conventional Ltatm1Dch mice but slightly smaller than wild-type
|
• these structures are missing
|
• antigen-specific IgG response is impaired compared to wild-type but there is some IgG1 production
|
• in response to LPS and D-GalN administration, percentage of severely moribund mice reaches 50% at 7 hours; percentage reaches 100% at 8 hours
• these data are significantly different from that for conventional Ltatm1Dch mice
|
hematopoietic system
• mice exhibit splenomegaly
|
• spatial segregation of B and T cells appears more organized than in Ltatm1Dch knockouts
|
• 19 days after immunization with OVA, mice display an isotype switch to IgG from IgM that is several fold decreased compared to wild-type
|
• white pulp is bigger than in conventional Ltatm1Dch mice but slightly smaller than wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in response to LPS, mice produce wild-type levels of TNF instead of the expected decrease
• bone marrow derived macrophages unexpectedly produce normal levels of TNF when stimulated
|
growth/size/body
• mice exhibit splenomegaly
