cellular
• a reduced fraction of B cells are found in S/G2/M phases 36 and 40 hours after stimulation
|
• after stimulation in culture, B cells divide, but lag behind by ~ 1 cell division compared to controls
|
• after stimulation with anti-IgM, B cells are reduced in number
|
immune system
N |
• antigen presentation and T-dependent antibody responses are not different from wild-type responses
• cap formation and B cell receptor internalization are normal
|
• splenic transitional (AA4.1+) B cell numbers are increased by ~40%
|
• numbers of splenic B1a B cells are strongly reduced compared to wild-type at 10-12 weeks of age; peritoneal lavage contains ~20% of numbers seen in wild-type mice
|
• in vitro, B cells cultured with anti-IgM show defective activation based on CD69 expression and blast formation
• recovery of live cells after 72 hours of culture with anti-IgM is ~10% of wild-type controls
• anti-IgM stimulated B cells show an abnormal tyrosine phophorylation pattern, including some hyperphosphorylated substrates at early time points, compared to wild-type; JNK and ERK phosphorylation are decreased by 30-50% compared to controls
|
• after stimulation with anti-IgM, B cells are reduced in number
|
• NP-specific serum IgG3 titers are ~25% that of controls after 7, 14, and 21 days; differences disappear at higher doses of NP-Ficoll
• in 8-week old unimmunized mice, titers of IgM, IgG2a and IgG3 are as low as 50% compared to wild-type
|
• numbers of specific IgM-secreting antibody-forming cells 4 days after NP-Ficoll (typeII T-independent antigen) immunization is reduced to ~30% of wild-type levels
