hematopoietic system
• increase in number of CD41+ cells and Gr-1/Mac1 double-positive cells in the bone marrow and spleen
• decrease in the percentage of B220+ B cells in the bone marrow and spleen
|
• increase in numbers of mature myeloid cells in spleen
|
• femurs exhibit hypercellular bone marrow with maturing myeloid cells, erythrocytes in many stages of differentiation, and mature megakaryocytes
|
• megakaryocytes in the spleen are large in size and have multilobulated nuclei
|
• increase in the number of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow
|
• decrease in the percentage of erythroid precursor cells in the bone marrow
|
• increase in the percentage of erythroblasts in spleen
|
polycythemia
(
J:130189
)
• 8 of 43 mutants show polycythemia at 3 months of age
|
• increase in the percentage of neutrophil precursor cells in the bone marrow
|
• 15 of 43 mutants exhibit thrombocytosis
|
• 15 of 43 mutants exhibit leukocytosis, with a predominance of granulocytes
• 2 of 8 mutants with polycythemia and 9 of 15 mutants with thromobocytosis exhibit leukocytosis
|
• granulocytosis after 4 months of age
|
• architecture of spleen is barely preserved
|
• splenomegaly is seen at 3-5 months of age in some mutants
• mutants with splenomegaly show at least one of the following: erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, or leukocytosis
|
• red pulp is expanded due to invasion by non-lymphoid cells, megakaryocytes, erythroblasts, and maturing myeloid cells
|
• emperipolesis of neutrophils in megakaryocyte cytoplasm is seen in the femurs; this is rarely observed in wild-type mice
|
immune system

|
• granulocytosis after 4 months of age

|
growth/size/body
• splenomegaly is seen at 3-5 months of age in some mutants
• mutants with splenomegaly show at least one of the following: erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, or leukocytosis
