mortality/aging
• inoculation with 5x105 CFUs leads to the death of all controls while killing none of the mutant mice
|
limbs/digits/tail
• plantar surfaces of the feet develop inflamed, raw, weeping lesions in 90% of mice between 10 and 25 weeks of age
• this inflammation leads to thickening of the epidermis, microabscesses in the epidermal and dermal layers, and a neutrophilic infiltrate in the dermal layer
• cellularity of the bone marrow adjacent to lesions is increased
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
immune system
• splenomegaly
(J:94077)
• occurs in mice after 6 weeks of age with a mean weight of 98 mg compared to 68 mg
(J:142845)
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
(J:142845)
|
• there is a 40%-50% reduction in the number of mature B cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow
|
• there are an increased number of myeloid cells in the spleen and bone marrow of mice over 7 weeks of age
|
• increased numbers of neutrophils are found in the spleen and bone marrow of mice over 7 weeks of age
|
• mean serum IgM levels are about 2.5 fold higher than in controls
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
• significant levels of anti-chromatin IgM (about 6 micrograms/ml) and IgG (3 micrograms/ml) are detectable in the sera of mice over 4 months of age
|
• inflammation of the paws
|
• salivary glands contain hematopoietic cell infiltrates
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
• the lungs contain hematopoietic cell infiltrates
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
• mice have a diminished bacterial burden 2 and 3 days after inoculation with Listeria monocytogenes
|
• inoculation with 5x105 CFUs leads to the death of all controls while killing none of the mutant mice
|
hematopoietic system
• splenomegaly
(J:94077)
• occurs in mice after 6 weeks of age with a mean weight of 98 mg compared to 68 mg
(J:142845)
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
(J:142845)
|
• increase numbers of erythroid cells are found in the spleen though numbers are reduced in the bone marrow
|
• there is a 40%-50% reduction in the number of mature B cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow
|
• there are an increased number of myeloid cells in the spleen and bone marrow of mice over 7 weeks of age
|
• increased numbers of neutrophils are found in the spleen and bone marrow of mice over 7 weeks of age
|
• mean serum IgM levels are about 2.5 fold higher than in controls
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
respiratory system
• the lungs contain hematopoietic cell infiltrates
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
digestive/alimentary system
• salivary glands contain hematopoietic cell infiltrates
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• salivary glands contain hematopoietic cell infiltrates
• this phenotype is dependent on the presence of microbes in the housing
|
integument

• normal coat
|
growth/size/body
• splenomegaly
(J:94077)
• occurs in mice after 6 weeks of age with a mean weight of 98 mg compared to 68 mg
