mortality/aging
• death occurs as early as P18 and most die between 19 and 22 days, although a few survive to 30 days
|
growth/size/body
small ears
(
J:10398
)
|
• from 14-18 days there is a marked retardation of growth although animals are normal in size before then
|
• about four times the normal weight
|
vision/eye
• closed eyelids in almost all 14 day or older mice due to conjunctivitis
• eyelid aperature is small
|
hearing/vestibular/ear
small ears
(
J:10398
)
|
reproductive system
• reddening and swelling of the genital papilla at P12-14
|
cryptorchism
(
J:10398
)
• testes are abdominal or inguinal
|
small gonad
(
J:10398
)
• reproductive structures are extremely underdeveloped
|
immune system
• about four times the normal weight
|
• hyperplasia of the red pulp
|
• architecture of the spleen is disrupted, with white and red pulp intermingling
|
• hyperplasia of the white pulp
|
hematopoietic system
• persistence of hematopoiesis in the liver
|
• depletion of the number of megakaryocytes with age in the bone marrow
• megakaryocytes are reduced at 13 days of age, more reduced at 17 days of age, and almost absent from the spleen at 20 days of age
|
• low at birth and decrease as disease progresses
|
• older animals exhibit hypochromic red blood cells
|
• low at birth and decrease as disease progresses
|
• increased reticulocyte count
|
• about four times the normal weight
|
• hyperplasia of the red pulp
|
• architecture of the spleen is disrupted, with white and red pulp intermingling
|
• hyperplasia of the white pulp
|
liver/biliary system
• liver is dotted with yellow foci in some animals, suggesting infection

cryptorchism
(
