digestive/alimentary system
N |
• mice exhibit normal intestinal morphology
|
• increased fecal IgA and albumin
• however, antibody treatment restores normal fecal IgA levels
|
• mice exhibit a higher mucosal bacterial loads (gram-positive Firmicutes phylum [Lactobacillus, Eubacterium rectale, and segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) groups]) compared with wild-type mice
• however, luminal bacterial loads are normal
|
• intestinal permeability (measured by fecal albumin) is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal numbers of Th17 and regulatory T cells
|
• in the intestinal lamina propria
• however, antibody treatment restores normal IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cell numbers
|
• mice exhibit increased IgA+ cells in the small intestinal lamina propria and increased fecal IgA compared with wild-type mice
• however, antibody treatment restores normal IgA cell numbers
|
hematopoietic system
• in the intestinal lamina propria
• however, antibody treatment restores normal IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cell numbers
|
• mice exhibit increased IgA+ cells in the small intestinal lamina propria and increased fecal IgA compared with wild-type mice
• however, antibody treatment restores normal IgA cell numbers
