hematopoietic system
• a defect in B cell maturation similar to that in Tg(Igh-6-Cd80)1Gjf mice is observed
• 3 week old transgenics have fewer B cells than wild-type mice; percentage of B cells in the spleens of young wild-type is 54% vs 25% in transgenics
• adult mice have comparable numbers of B cells in the spleens
|
• transgene expressing T cells can be activated by anti-CD3 alone, whereas wild-type T cells require presence of costimulatory signals for activation
