mortality/aging
• 7% of mice survive to 20 months of age, however, survival is similar to control up to 11 months of age
|
behavior/neurological
• mild motor deficits on rotarod at 12 months of age, however, no differences in grip strength, gait or general activity
|
• slightly decreased social interaction as determined by time spent with other mice at 12 months of age
• slightly decreased social recognition as determined by time spent with novel mouse at 12 months of age
|
hematopoietic system
• splenomegaly by 12 months of age, however, total number of lymphoid cells is unchanged
• myeloid cells are dramatically increased
|
• decreased packed cell volume
|
• decreased hemoglobin
|
• increased percentage of neutrophils in blood
|
• decreased percentage of lymphocytes in blood
|
immune system
• splenomegaly by 12 months of age, however, total number of lymphoid cells is unchanged
• myeloid cells are dramatically increased
|
• increased percentage of neutrophils in blood
|
• decreased percentage of lymphocytes in blood
|
• splenic lymph node architecture is disrupted
|
• splenic lymph nodes exhibit an increase in myeloid cells, but no change in number of lymphoid cells
|
• cervical lymph node architecture is disrupted
|
• enlarged cervical lymph notes at 12 months of age
• numbers of lymphoid and myeloid cells are increased by more than an order of magnitude
|
growth/size/body
• reduced body weight by 6 months of age
|
• splenomegaly by 12 months of age, however, total number of lymphoid cells is unchanged
