immune system
• the thymus is severely atrophic with a 10-fold reduction in numbers
|
• there is a 27 fold reduction in the percentage of B220-positive B cells found in circulation
• the spleen and bone marrow also have significantly less B cells
|
• there is a 9-fold reduction in the percentage of T cells found in circulation
• the spleen and bone marrow also have significantly less T cells
|
• there is a large increase in the percentage of CD11b-positive/Gr1-positive myeloid cells found in circulation
• this increase results from lower percentages of lymphocytes found in the blood and not from higher numbers
|
• there is a slight reduction in the number of spleen cells
|
• lymph nodes are reduced in size with a 20-fold decrease in the size of numbers
