hematopoietic system
• the number of splenic B cells in the G0 phase is significantly higher whereas the number of splenic B cells in the G1 phase is significantly lower than that in wild-type controls
• in a B-lymphoid cell colony formation assay, both the size and number of B cell colonies is significantly reduced relative to that in wild-type controls
• however, no differences in apoptosis of pre-B cells (from bone marrow) or B cells (from spleen and peripheral blood) are observed
|
• the percentage of common lymphoid progenitor cells (CLP, Lin-c-kitloCD127+) is significantly increased in the bone marrow
• however, bone marrow cell number is normal and no changes in the percentage of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (LSK) or myeloid progenitor cells (GMP, CMP, and MEP) are observed
|
• at 6 months of age, mice show a decreased percentage of B-lymphoid cells (CD19+B220+) in peripheral blood relative to wild-type controls
• following a semi-lethal dose of irradiation, the recovery rate of B-lymphoid cells is significantly lower than that in wild-type controls
|
• at 5 months of age, mice show an increased percentage of T-lymphoid cells (CD3e+) in peripheral blood relative to wild-type controls
• following a semi-lethal dose of irradiation, the recovery rate of T-lymphoid cells is significantly higher than that in wild-type controls
