immune system
• CD4+ T cells show a greater proliferative response to TCR stimulation ranging from 1.5-fold to 11-fold depending on the amount of stimulation
• greatest differences in proliferative response were noted at low doses of anti-CD3 stimulation
|
• thymus cellularity is increased 1.9-fold compared to controls
|
• spleen cellularity is increased 1.4-fold compared to controls
|
• mast cells proliferate faster in response to low and high doses of IL-3
|
• B cells have a 3-fold greater production of IgM in response to IL-5+ anti-CD40 in vitro
|
hematopoietic system
• CD4+ T cells show a greater proliferative response to TCR stimulation ranging from 1.5-fold to 11-fold depending on the amount of stimulation
• greatest differences in proliferative response were noted at low doses of anti-CD3 stimulation
|
• thymus cellularity is increased 1.9-fold compared to controls
|
• spleen cellularity is increased 1.4-fold compared to controls
|
• bone marrow cells cultured in vitro with IL-3 and GM-CSF have a 3 to 6 times faster proliferation rate than controls
|
• there is about a 30% increase in the number of GM progenitors in the bone marrow compared to controls
|
• 3-fold increase in the numbers BFU-E progenitors in the bone marrow compared to controls
• there is about a 30% increase in the number of GM progenitors in the bone marrow compared to controls
|
• mast cells proliferate faster in response to low and high doses of IL-3
