N normal phenotype
respiratory system
• increased ratio of lung wet weight to body weight
• large numbers of inflammatory cells increasing with age (5.6x normal at 1 year)
• most inflammatory cells in lungs are mononuclear macrophage
• lung epithelium with large numbers of giant cells containing "foamy" material
• type II cells and lamellar bodies are significantly enlarged
• massive lamellar bodies in type II cells (2.5-4.5 um and rarely to 28 um), engorged with surfactant
• large open air spaces in the lung parenchyma
• abnormal respiratory function as determined by in vivo measurement of lung hysteresivity

immune system
• mononuclear macrophage are of normal size at 8-15 weeks of age but enlarged at 1 year and containing foamy material
• large numbers of inflammatory cells increasing with age (5.6x normal at 1 year)
• most inflammatory cells in lungs are mononuclear macrophage

hematopoietic system
• mononuclear macrophage are of normal size at 8-15 weeks of age but enlarged at 1 year and containing foamy material

growth/size/body
• increased ratio of lung wet weight to body weight
