hematopoietic system
• thymus cellularity is drastically reduced in mice over 15 weeks of age
|
• some mice show increased splenic cellularity
|
• slight reduction in colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors in embryonic and young mice
• slight reduction in colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage-megakaryocyte progenitors in embryonic and young mice

• relative

• seen in some adult mice in the spleen red pulp
|
• modest reductions in bone marrow in mice under 15 weeks of age becoming significantly reduced after 15 weeks
|
• some mice over 15 weeks of age show a relative decrease in B-lymphocyte numbers
• modest reductions in bone marrow in mice under 15 weeks of age becoming significantly reduced after 15 weeks
|
• severely reduced numbers
• pro-B cell numbers are normal
|
• absolute numbers of all CD4+ and CD8+ populations are reduced in the thymus
• absolute numbers of all CD4+ and CD8+ populations are normal in the peripheral circulation
|
• modest proportional reduction in embryos
