immune system
• slight increase in the numbers and percentages of mature splenic B cells, peritoneal B1-a B cells, and bone marrow recirculating B cells
|
• increase in the number of spontaneously forming germinal centers
|
• following T cell dependent antigen stimulation an increase in the size but not in the number of germinal centers is seen compared to antigen stimulated wild-type mice
|
• increase in the ratio of B to T cells
|
• hyperresponsive to T cell dependent primary responses but not to T cell dependent secondary responses
|
• enhanced survival following CD40 stimulation
|
• following CD40 stimulation
|
• increased basal IgG2a levels
• however, IgG1 response to TNP-KLH stimulation is similar to wild-type
|
• increased IgM in mice immunized with TNP-KLH compared to immunized wild-type mice
