mortality/aging
• 95% of mice die between 24 and 48 hours with remaining mice dying at 3 weeks of age
|
respiratory system
• at P1, mice exhibit arrested development of the terminal air sacs with mesenchymal thickening unlike in wild-type mice
• however, lung development at E15.5 to E18.5 is normal
|
• smooth muscle alpha-actin staining indicates defects in pulmonary mesenchymal differentiation compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at P1
|
immune system
• peripheral T cells fail to proliferate in response to anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 or anti-CD3 and IL2 unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• in a Rag2 null reconstitution experiment, B220+ cells are increased compared to in mice reconstituted with wild-type E14.5 fetal liver cells
|
• in a Rag2 null reconstitution experiment, CD4-CD8+ T cells are reduced compared to in mice reconstituted with wild-type E14.5 fetal liver cells
|
limbs/digits/tail
polydactyly
(
J:158087
)
• in 50% of mice on the right hindpaw
|
growth/size/body
behavior/neurological
hematopoietic system
• peripheral T cells fail to proliferate in response to anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 or anti-CD3 and IL2 unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
