immune system
• homozygous mice show a reduction of 50-70% in splenocyte and lymph node cell numbers compared to wild-type
|
• mutants show slightly lower responses to thymus dependent antigen such as DNP-ovalbumin
|
• mutants have 2-fold higher IgA than wild-type
|
• mice have 4.5-fold lower IgG2b levels than wild-type
