N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• mice exhibit an increased risk of death as mice age

growth/size/body
• mice show decreased weight with age
• mice begin declining on average at 76 +/- 51 days
• a small percentage of mice develop hepatomegaly
• spleen is enlarged in end-stage mice

hematopoietic system
• spleen is enlarged in end-stage mice
• modest microcytic anemia
• modest but significant reduction in red blood cells
• modest but significant reduction in hematocrit
• total white blood cell counts are modestly but significantly elevated
• increase in the number of circulating neutrophils
• lymphocytic stromal cell hyperplasia

homeostasis/metabolism
• 18 of 36 cytokines and chemokines are elevated in the plasma, including IL-22, IL-28, IL-23, IL-6, MCP-1, IL-31, IL-5, IL-10, IL-1beta, IL-15/IL-15R, IFN-gamma, IL-3, GM-CSF, IL-17A, IFN-alpha, MIP-1B, LIF, and growth-related oncogene alpha

immune system
• spleen is enlarged in end-stage mice
• total white blood cell counts are modestly but significantly elevated
• increase in the number of circulating neutrophils
• lymphocytic stromal cell hyperplasia
• 18 of 36 cytokines and chemokines are elevated in the plasma, including IL-22, IL-28, IL-23, IL-6, MCP-1, IL-31, IL-5, IL-10, IL-1beta, IL-15/IL-15R, IFN-gamma, IL-3, GM-CSF, IL-17A, IFN-alpha, MIP-1B, LIF, and growth-related oncogene alpha
• a subset of end-stage mice develop enlarged cervical lymph nodes
• both B and T cells are greatly expanded within the lymph nodes
• mice develop classic features of autoimmunity including anti-dsDNA antibodies and increased cytokine and chemokine levels
• wild-type recipients transplanted with homozygous mutant bone marrow are smaller, have larger spleens, some have enlarged cervical lymph nodes, lower platelet count, reduced hematocrit, elevated cytokines, and elevated anti-dsDNA antibody activity indicating autoimmunity development
• homozygous mutant recipients transplanted with wild-type bone marrow show increased weight, increased life span, decreased level of splenomegaly, fewer neutrophils, elevated platelet counts, reduced cytokine levels and reduced anti-dsDNA activity
• mice exhibit an accumulation of anti-dsDNA antibody which is sustained in plasma in mice greater than 300 days of age
