immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal response to ovalbumin-specific IgE response
|
• in response to haptens, mice produce lower frequencies of IL4+CD4+ T cells compared with wild-type mice
• however, there is no difference in the Langerhans cell number
|
• response to nickel loading mice exhibit increased ear swelling compared with wild-type mice
|
• in response to haptens, mice produce lower frequencies of IL4+CD4+ T cells compared with wild-type mice
|
integument
• at E16.5, but not P0
|
• scarce, immature, and fragile in newborn mice
• fragile in older mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• elevated nickel level after oral nickel loading
|
• at E16.5, but not P0
