immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal numbers of macrophages and dendritic cell precursors
|
• starting at 6 weeks with slight infiltration of secondary and primary lymphoid organs by myeloid cells (particularly neutrophils)
|
• neutrophils infiltrate the spleens, skin-draining lymph nodes and thymi
|
• distorted dendritic cell composition
|
• cell-intrinsic and cell-specific impairment in generation of CD4+ dendritic cells (determined by bone marrow cell transplantation experiments)
|
• 2.5-fold and 1.7-fold reduction in absolute number of CD4+ and CD8alpha+ dendritic cells independent of enlarged spleens
• decreased CD4+ dendritic cells in mesenteric lymph nodes
|
• increased absolute number of double negative dendritic cells due to splenomegaly
• increased numbers of CD103+ CD11b+ dendritic cell in the mesenteric lymph nodes
• however, the frequency of double negative dendritic cells is normal
