cellular
• a large fraction of pre-B and DP thymocytes remain in the S-G2-M phase rather than moving to G0 phase
• double positive (DP) thymocytes, large pre-B cells, small pre-B cells and granulocytes contain more cells in G2-M following 24 hour pulse than controls
|
• 4 fold increase in apoptosis of DP thymocytes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• 5-10 fold reduction in total thymocytes at 2 and 4 weeks following pI:pC administration
|
hematopoietic system
• 4 fold increase in apoptosis of DP thymocytes
|
• 5-10 fold reduction in total thymocytes at 2 and 4 weeks following pI:pC administration
|
• decreased number of DP thymocytes
|
• reduced numbers of peripheral blood B cells at 2 and 4 weeks following pI:pC administration
|
• reduced numbers of immature B cells in bone marrow (IgM+ IgD- B220+)
|
• reduced numbers of mature recirculating B cells in bone marrow(IgM+ IgD+ B220hi)
|
• 2-3 fold reduction in percentage and absolute number of pre-B cells in bone marrow (IgM- B220+ CD43low/-)
|
immune system
