immune system
• spleen B cells show a moderate increase in survival and proliferation in response to F(ab)2 alpha-IgM antibodies
• spleen B cells show increased survival and undergo more cell divisions in response to BCR stimulation
• spleen B cells show a moderately increased response to LPS stimulation
|
• mice exhibit a partial block of B-cell maturation in the spleen
|
• class-switch recombination induced by CD40L+alpha-CD8+IL-4 is reduced in B cells
• however, class-switch recombination induced by LPS+IL-4 occurs normally
|
• increase of IgMlowIgDhigh transitional B cells in the spleen
• decrease of IgMlowIgDhigh mature B cell population in the spleen
• however, the proportion of B220+CD21highCD23low marginal zone B cells appears normal
|
• increase of the T2 population of transitional B cells in the spleen
|
• reduction of B-1a cells in the peritoneal cavity
|
• aged mice show a higher frequency of clonal expansion of B cells in the spleen and lymph nodes
|
• aged mice show an increase in the proportion of B220+, but not CD3+, in the spleen; majority of these cells are follicular B cells
|
• B cells show elevated calcium influx in response to BCR cross-linking
|
• slight decrease of serum IgA
|
• slight decrease of serum IgG2c
|
• aged mice show a greater decrease in the total serum IgG levels
|
• production of both total and high-affinity NP-specific IgG1 antibodies is enhanced
|
• moderate increase in the steady state levels of IgG3
• production of NP-specific IgG3 is elevated
• aged mice show a greater increase in serum IgG3
|
• moderate increase in the steady state levels of serum IgM
• production of NP-specific IgM is elevated
• aged mice show a greater increase in serum IgM
|
• humoral immune responses to a T-independent antigen NP-Ficoll are enhanced
• responses to a T-dependent antigen NP coupled to CGG are enhanced
• increase in antibody-forming cells that secrete low- and high-affinity NP-specific antibodies
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• B cells show elevated calcium influx in response to BCR cross-linking
