Smaller body size of the Pld4thss/Pld4thss mouse (upper left) cmpared to a heterozygote (lower right) at 20 days of age

hematopoietic system
• significant splenomegaly at 15 weeks of age with 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes than in heterozygotes, and the degree of splenomegaly is inversely proportional to body weight
• approximately 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes in homozygotes than heterozygotes
• increased CD69+ T cells indicative of an activation
• females, not males, were assessed and found to have remarkable spontaneous formation of germinal centres in the spleen and lymphoid organs
• hypergammaglobulinemia at 14 to 15 weeks of age inlcuding significant increases in IgM, IgG2b, IgG3, IgA, and IgE

mortality/aging
N
• normal lifespan

renal/urinary system
• PAS-positive depositions and IgG and C3 deposits are found in the glomeruli of homozygotes but not heterozygotes although urine protein adjusted for cratinine is not significantly elevated

integument
• the coat grows in sparsely and a sparse coat persists throughout the lifespan, which is normal

growth/size/body
• smaller than normal body size is evident before the hair begins to grow in
• evident by 1 week of age and worsens with age
• significant splenomegaly at 15 weeks of age with 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes than in heterozygotes, and the degree of splenomegaly is inversely proportional to body weight
• approximately 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes in homozygotes than heterozygotes

immune system
• significant splenomegaly at 15 weeks of age with 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes than in heterozygotes, and the degree of splenomegaly is inversely proportional to body weight
• approximately 1.5 to 2-fold more splenocytes in homozygotes than heterozygotes
• increased CD69+ T cells indicative of an activation
• females, not males, were assessed and found to have remarkable spontaneous formation of germinal centres in the spleen and lymphoid organs
• hypergammaglobulinemia at 14 to 15 weeks of age inlcuding significant increases in IgM, IgG2b, IgG3, IgA, and IgE
• significant lymphadenopathy at 15 weeks of age compared with heterozygotes, and the degree of lymphadenopathy is inversly proportional to body weight
