immune system
• a disease similar to ulcerative colitis occurs in these mice with histology revealing inflammation and elongation of the crypts
|
• there are 20-fold more gammadelta T cells found in the lamina propia of the gut compared to wild-type mice
|
• greatly increased susceptibility to infection with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis
|
• mice fail to reject tail skin from OVA expressing transgenic mice ( Tg(CAG-OVA)916Jen )
|
digestive/alimentary system
• colitis results in lengthening of the colon
• the large intestine weight to body weight ratio at 28 weeks of age is twice as great than what is observed in wild-type mice
|
• rectal prolapse occurs in about 18% of mice 24 to 60 weeks of age
|
• a disease similar to ulcerative colitis occurs in these mice with histology revealing inflammation and elongation of the crypts
|
hematopoietic system
