hematopoietic system
• mutant thymocytes are resistant to Fas-induced apoptosis
|
• mutant T cells have impaired early cell cycle transition
• mutant T cells exhibit a slower cell cycle kinetic and do not accumulate in culture due to cell death by necrosis during proliferation
|
• mutant mice consistently possess elongated lymphnodes and spleen
|
• an increase of TER-119+ red blood cells in the spleen but not in the bone marrow
|
• a drastic increase of B cells in the lymph nodes and spleen
• absolute number of B cells is higher in mutant mice that exhibit splenomegaly
|
• the percentage of T cells in the peripheral organs of mutant mice is reduced
• the absolute cell number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is equal to controls
|
