mortality/aging
• survive infection with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
|
immune system
• numbers increase in parallel to decrease in CD8+ cells
|
• 90% reduction of single positive CD8 peripheral T-cells
|
• CD8+ TCRalpha/beta T-cells not present
|
• survive infection with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
|
nervous system
N |
• normal gross cerebellar development
|
• increased glutamate transients in climbing fiber synaptic clefts
|
• lower threshold for induction if climbing fibers are involved in induction
|
• larger paired pulse ratio when paired stimuli are applied to climbing fibers are separated by 50-100 msec
• significantly increased second excitatory postsynaptic current
|
behavior/neurological
• performance in rotarod tests is significantly better than controls on the third day of testing
• testing repeated after 2 weeks of rest and then after another 4 months of rest indicate much better task retention than for controls
|
hematopoietic system
• numbers increase in parallel to decrease in CD8+ cells
|
• 90% reduction of single positive CD8 peripheral T-cells
|
• CD8+ TCRalpha/beta T-cells not present
