endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymic cellularity is lower despite normal corticomedullary architecture
|
• the DN expansion occurs at the DN3 (CD25hiCD44lo stage, specifically the CD27lo DN3a phase)
• the absolute number of DN3a thymocytes is increased despite a much smaller thymus
• although expanded, the CD25+DN3 compartment proliferates less

growth/size/body
hematopoietic system
• thymic cellularity is lower despite normal corticomedullary architecture
|
• reduction in frequency of lambda light chain expressing B lymphocytes in the spleen, lymph nodes and blood
|
• incomplete block in thymocyte development at stages where V(D)J recombination occurs
|
• mice exhibit impaired V(D)J recombination
• mice show an accumulation of double negative (DN), DN3 (CD44-CD25+), DN3a (CD27lo) and double positive 1 (DP1; CD5loTCRhi) thymocytes
• splenocytes show less diverse TCR clonotypes and individual clonotypes tend to be more expanded out of proportion to the lower fraction of naive cells
• mice show strongly skewed Tra gene usage toward V segments from the 3 end of the V locus and J segments from the 5 end of the J locus
• mice have fewer nonproductive Trb chain rearrangements than wild-type mice
• both the pattern of TCR gene segment usage and the lack of nonproductive rearrangements suggest a lower frequency of repeated recombinations of Tra/Trb loci
|
• increase in CD4-CD8- double-negative (DN) thymocytes
|
• the DN expansion occurs at the DN3 (CD25hiCD44lo stage, specifically the CD27lo DN3a phase)
• the absolute number of DN3a thymocytes is increased despite a much smaller thymus
• although expanded, the CD25+DN3 compartment proliferates less
|
• mice show an expansion of the earliest double positive (DP) subset (DP1), in which alpha chain rearrangement occurs
• however, subsequent development of CD4 and CD8 single-positive (SP) lymphocytes appears normal
|
• bone marrow shows an accumulation of IgM-IgD- pre-B cells
• bone marrow shows a trend toward a reduction in mature IgM+IgD+ B cells
• however, no effect on pro-B cell populations is seen
|
IMPC - WTSI
|
• bone marrow shows an accumulation of IgM-IgD- pre-B cells
|
• mice show markedly reduced invariant NK T (iNKT) cells
|
• the ratio of CD44hi memory T cells to naive T cells is increased in the spleen and lymph nodes
|
• slight increase in serum IgE levels
|
• slight increase in IgG2b levels
|
• slight increase in serum IgM levels
