• adoptive transfer experiments to wild-type recipients revealed that homozygotes display impaired migration of B cells and T cells into lymph nodes and Peyer's pathces, and of T cells into the splenic periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (PALS)
• unlike wild-type B cells, mutant B cells rapidly leave the outer PALS after being transferred into wild-type recipients
• mutant spleens are usually 2- to 3-fold enlarged relative to wild-type spleens
• unlike in wild-type mice, only few, morphologically altered DCs are detected in the T cell zone of mutant lymph nodes
• following FITC skin painting, significantly less skin-derived DCs are found in mutant LNs relative to wild-type controls
• homozygotes show a significant reduction in the percentage of CD62L+ naive T cells in all secondary lymphoid organs relative to wild-type controls
• homozygotes show a significant reduction of CD4+ cell numbers in mesenteric and peripheral lymph nodes (50%-70%) and Peyer's patches (25%) relative to wild-type controls
• homozygotes show a significant expansion of CD62L+ naive T cells in blood and bone marrow relative to wild-type controls
• homozygotes show a 6-fold increase in CD4+ cell numbers in peripheral blood, spleen, and bone marrow relative to wild-type controls

• T cells are mislolocalized and spread throughout the marginal sinuses and the red pulp in large clusters instead of being found in the PALS
• unlike wild-type controls, homozygotes exhibit only very few naive CD62L+ T cells in the T cell zone close to the central artery; those T cells found in PALS are of the memory phenotype lacking CD62L expression
• naive T cells reside outside the PALS in mutant mice
• adoptive transfer experiments revealed that mutant B cells enter the recipients'lymph nodes and Peyer's patches with a frequency of 20%-50% of that observed after transfer of wild-type cells
• unlike wild-type cells, adoptively transferred mutant B cells are not retained in the outer PALS but quickly migrate to the adjacent follicle, suggesting that temporary retention of B cells in this area and interaction with antigen-specifc T cells is perturbed
• after immunization with the T cell-dependent antigen DNP-KLH, homozygotes exhibit a significant delay in IgG isotype switching relative to similarly-treated wild-type controls
• homozygotes display improper activation of B cells, as shown by an increased proportion of IgD-IgMlow B cells in the germinal center of lymph nodes
• at 10 weeks of age, mutant B cells isolated from blood and all secondary lymphoid organs express higher levels of MHC II molecules than wild-type B cells
• at 3 weeks of age, homozygotes harbor activated B cells (with increased expression levels of MHC II) only in peripheral lymph nodes but not in blood or spleen

• homozygotes display impaired migration of T cells into the splenic periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (PALS)
• mutant Peyer's patches lack T cell-rich zones
• a small rim of T cells is shown to surround the B cell follicle, not observed in wild-type mice
• mutant Peyer's patches are smaller than wild-type

• some homozygotes display prominent B cell follicles with significantly enlarged germinal centers in the paracortex

• mutant lymph nodes are smaller than wild-type
• following contact sensitization induced by FITC skin painting, homozygotes display impaired migration of activated skin DCs to their draining lumph nodes

• delayed type hypersensitivity induced by s.c. injection of KLH in the ear lobe is completely absent, as assessed by ear swelling at 24 and 48 hrs after reexposure of sensitized homozygotes to the same antigen
• following application of the T-dependent antigen DNP-KLH, homozygotes fail to produce specific antibodies of any IgG isotype within the first 10 days
