neoplasm
• between 7 and 12 months of age, ~30% (14/46) of mice developed malignant tumors compared to no tumors in wild-type controls up to 12 months after birth
|
• 3/14 tumors were hepatomas
|
• 6/14 tumors were lymphomas; tumors of the mesenteric lymph nodes were found in the intestine
|
• lymphomas were determined to be derived from T cells
|
• 4/14 tumors were adenocarcinomas
|
• 1/14 tumors was a sarcoma
|
hematopoietic system
• lymphomas were determined to be derived from T cells
|
• spleens of mutants with lymphomas were enlarged compared to wild-type spleens
|
• atypical lymphocytes were detected growing in mesenteric lymph node, kidneys, liver, and spleen
|
immune system
• lymphomas were determined to be derived from T cells
|
• spleens of mutants with lymphomas were enlarged compared to wild-type spleens
|
• atypical lymphocytes were detected growing in mesenteric lymph node, kidneys, liver, and spleen
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• lymphomas were determined to be derived from T cells
|
growth/size/body
• spleens of mutants with lymphomas were enlarged compared to wild-type spleens
|
liver/biliary system
• 3/14 tumors were hepatomas
|
respiratory system
• 4/14 tumors were adenocarcinomas
