immune system
N |
• T cell development and function are normal
|
• at 6 to 9 months, thymic epithelial cell numbers are increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• in aged mice
|
• at 5 to 9 months, twice as many thymocytes are present compared to in wild-type mice
• at 1 year of age, thymocyte numbers are 4-fold greater while stromal cell numbers are 2-fold greater than in wild-type mice
|
• 2-fold at 5 to 9 months of age
• 4-fold at 1 year of age
|
• 4- to 5-fold
|
nervous system
• mice exhibit abnormal nests of retained external germinal layer in the cerebellum unlike in wild-type mice that persists in aged mice
|
reproductive system
N |
• mice exhibit normal testes
