immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal hypermutation and class-switch recombination of immunoglobin genes
|
• female mice develop enlarged spleens due to multifocal white areas not observed in wild-type mice
|
• female mice exhibit enlarged and more numerous follicles compared to in wild-type mice
|
• enlarged in female mice
|
• female mice exhibit enlargement or focal changes in the lungs, liver, kidney, mesenteric lymph nodes and thymus not observed in wild-type mice
• both female and male mice exhibit lymphoid hyperplasia
|
respiratory system
• female mice exhibit an increase in epithelial hyperplasia, adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the lung compared to in wild-type mice
|
neoplasm
• female mice exhibit an increase in epithelial hyperplasia, adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the lung compared to in wild-type mice
|
• female mice exhibit an increase in follicular lymphoma and diffuse large-B cell lymphoma of the centroblastic type in the spleen compared to in wild-type mice
• however, marginal zone distinctions are not lost
• metastases are noted in the lungs, liver and kidneys of female mice unlike in wild-type mice
|
• one female mouse developed histiocytic sarcoma
|
adipose tissue
• in the subcutis, retroperitoneum, abdomen, mediastinum and around the epididymes
|
• white adipocytes exhibit minimal or mild hypertrophy
|
growth/size/body
• female mice develop enlarged spleens due to multifocal white areas not observed in wild-type mice
|
cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibit reduced cellular proliferation compared to wild-type MEFs especially at low densities
|
hematopoietic system
• female mice develop enlarged spleens due to multifocal white areas not observed in wild-type mice
|
• female mice exhibit enlarged and more numerous follicles compared to in wild-type mice
|
• enlarged in female mice
