mortality/aging
• incomplete penetrance of phenotypes results in some mice developing either a fatal neurological disorder or fatal pre-B cell lymphproliferative syndrome by 3-6 months of age
|
immune system
• observed in mice with lymphoproliferative syndrome
• contains cellular infiltrate of immature-appearing, mitotically active round cells
|
• evidence of lymphoproliferative syndrome is observed by 3 months of age in spleen and lymph nodes
• lymphoproliferation is characterized by cellular infiltrate populated primarily by pre-B cells (B220+/sIgM-)
• bone marrow, thymus, spinal cord and skeletal muscle fibers develop cellular infiltrate late in the disease process
|
• 90% of cells in lymph node express B220+/sIgM- surface antigens, however, absolute number of peripheral T cells is unchanged
|
• peripheral adenopathy
• observed in mice with lymphoproliferative syndrome
• contain cellular infiltrate of immature-appearing, mitotically active round cells
|
• ConA-stimulated splenocytes from asymptomatic transgenic mice produce significantly less IL3 than stimulated controls
|
behavior/neurological
• occurs in some mice in late stages of lymphoproliferative syndrome
|
• first observed in mice with neurological disorder between 3-6 months of age, progressing to ataxia, then wasting within 2-4 weeks
|
hematopoietic system
• observed in mice with lymphoproliferative syndrome
• contains cellular infiltrate of immature-appearing, mitotically active round cells
|
• evidence of lymphoproliferative syndrome is observed by 3 months of age in spleen and lymph nodes
• lymphoproliferation is characterized by cellular infiltrate populated primarily by pre-B cells (B220+/sIgM-)
• bone marrow, thymus, spinal cord and skeletal muscle fibers develop cellular infiltrate late in the disease process
|
• 90% of cells in lymph node express B220+/sIgM- surface antigens, however, absolute number of peripheral T cells is unchanged
|
growth/size/body
• observed in mice with lymphoproliferative syndrome
• contains cellular infiltrate of immature-appearing, mitotically active round cells
