mortality/aging
• showed increased mortality at about 13 months of age and only about 80% survived at 15 months

immune system
• 42% exhibited abnormal B cell expansions involving predominately the spleen but also the lymph nodes compared to 11% in wild-type and displayed features of benign lymphoproliferative disease
• about a 30% reduction in the number of total plasmacytoid cells (B220+/- CD138+), mainly due to a decrease in post-CSR plasma cells (IgM-IgD-), while IgM+IgD+ plasma cells were normal
• 17% displayed a complete effacement of the splenic lymphoid architecture due to the proliferation of large lymphoid cells
• 17% exhibited a modest splenomegaly at 6 months of age
• partial effacement of the follicular architecture with the appearance of blast cells
• nonimmunized mutant mice displayed an increased number of germinal centers, comparable to that observed upon immunization in wild-type mice, and the increase in the number of germinal centers and an increase in the total germinal center area persisted after immunization
• expanded white pulp composed predominately of B cells, but also included disorganized accumulations of other cell types such as T cells and dendritic cells
• displayed a small (20-50%) reduction in total serum immunoglobulin levels of all subclasses, except for IgM, both under basal conditions and after immunization with T-dependent antigens

neoplasm
• between 15 and 20 months, 36-62% developed clonal B cell lymphomas, predominately of splenic orgin, with or without nodal involvement
• tumors displayed a mature B cell phenotype and most were histologically reminiscent of human diffuse large B cell lymphomas and contained clonal karyotypic aberrations

hematopoietic system
• 42% exhibited abnormal B cell expansions involving predominately the spleen but also the lymph nodes compared to 11% in wild-type and displayed features of benign lymphoproliferative disease
• about a 30% reduction in the number of total plasmacytoid cells (B220+/- CD138+), mainly due to a decrease in post-CSR plasma cells (IgM-IgD-), while IgM+IgD+ plasma cells were normal
• 17% displayed a complete effacement of the splenic lymphoid architecture due to the proliferation of large lymphoid cells

growth/size/body
• 17% exhibited a modest splenomegaly at 6 months of age

cellular
• 42% exhibited abnormal B cell expansions involving predominately the spleen but also the lymph nodes compared to 11% in wild-type and displayed features of benign lymphoproliferative disease
