weight loss
(
J:139785
)
• mice lose weight as result of autoimmune disease, with mice weighing about 20% less than controls at 4 months of age
|
• spleens are increased in weight by about 50% at 4 months of age
|
• there is about a 50% increase in the number of cells found in the spleen at 4 months of age
|
immune system
• B cell numbers in the spleen of 4-month old mice are increased by about half
|
• T cell numbers in the spleen of 4-month old mice are increased by about half
|
• CD11b+ cells in the spleen of 4-month old mice are increased by more than half
|

|
• there is about a 50% increase in the number of cells found in the spleen at 4 months of age
|
• the white pulp of the spleen is greatly increased to the point of destroying the spleen micro-architecture
|
• splenic B cells produce significantly more IL-1beta and TNF upon stimulation with LPS or CpG
• responses to anti-IgM stimulation including TNF production, proliferation, and class switching are all normal in these mice

• mice have 5-fold more CD8+ T cells that are reactive to LCMV eight days after infection compared to wild-type mice
• splenocytes from infected mice also make twice as much IFN-gamma as controls when cultured with LCMV-derived peptides that are antigenic to CD8 + T cells
|

|
• all mice die within 4 days of I.V. administration of a low dose of LPS while only 2 of 11 controls die within the same time period
• sera levels of IL-1, IL-6, and IL-12 in mice treated with LPS are greatly augmented
• severe multi-organ necrosis occurs in these mice when treated with low dose LPS
|
• starting at two months of age, mice develop a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that eventually proves fatal
• mononuclear cell infiltration occurs in multiple organs is noted by 3 months of age including in the lung, liver, and intestine
