immune system
N |
• T cell function and T cell receptor signaling are normal in mutants
• serum levels of immunoglobulins are similar to wild-type
• antibody responses to T-dependent and T-independent antigens are comparable to wild-type responses; activation of B cells by T-independent antigens is normal in mutants
|
• in mutants, spleen has increased percentage of transitional T1 cells, decreased percentage of T2 cells, and normal numbers of follicular B cells
|
• increased percentage of B220lo/IgM- population in bone marrow which includes pro-B and pre-b cells is observed at 6-10 weeks
• number of pre-B cells is increased ~2-fold in bone marrow compared to wild-type; absolute numbers of pre-B cells in bone marrow of femurs is significantly increased in mice at 6-10 weeks of age
|
• spleen has significant decrease in CD23 expression on IgM+ B cells compared to controls; a similar decrease in CD23 expression is seen on peripheral blood B cells
• B cell signaling is impaired in mutants upon BCR ligation
|
• significant defect in B cell proliferation is seen upon B cell receptor ligation by IgM
