immune system
• reduced thymocyte apoptosis
• resistant to apoptosis inducing agents
|
• splenocytes resistant to apoptosis inducing agents
|
• TCRbeta (+) thymocytes are decreased in number
|
• particularly pronounced in young mice
• becomes less pronounced with age
• prolonged thymocyte survival
|
• numbers in the thymus are consistently elevated
|
• thymus structure is normal aside from the increase in size
|
• spleen structure is normal aside from the increase in size
|
• remain elevated at all ages examined
|
