immune system

increased spleen weight ( J:28061 )

• spleen weights are between 195 ad 257 mg (0.8% to 1.1% of body weight) compared to wild-type spleens that weigh between 86 and 125 mg (0.35% to 0.6% of body weight)

increased leukocyte cell number ( J:28061 )

• some mice exhibit increased white blood cell (WBC) counts (11-29x10³ WBC per mm³ compared to 3-7x10³ WBC per mm³ in wild-type mice)

• small homogeneous lymphocytes accumulate in the periportal and perivascular regions of the liver and lung, respectively

absent spleen marginal zone ( J:28061 )

• unlike wild-type mice, the marginal zone is absent from the white pulp

decreased spleen white pulp amount ( J:28061 )

• the amount of white pulp is reduced, disorganized and lacked marginal zones

absent Peyer's patches ( J:28061 )

absent lymph nodes ( J:28061 )

• mice lack visible lymph nodes (popliteal, inguineal, para-aortic, axillary and cervical)

• however, 4 of 14 mice possess abnormal lymph node-like structures in the mesenteric fat

abnormal humoral immune response ( J:28061 )

• when exposed to HSV or KLH mice fail to produce antigen-specific antibodies

decreased IgA level ( J:28061 )

• less than 20 ug/ul compared to 80-1668 ug/ml in wild-type mice

increased IgM level ( J:28061 )

• 20+/-6 mg/dl compared to 15+/-3 mg/dl in wild-type mice

hematopoietic system

increased spleen weight ( J:28061 )

• spleen weights are between 195 ad 257 mg (0.8% to 1.1% of body weight) compared to wild-type spleens that weigh between 86 and 125 mg (0.35% to 0.6% of body weight)

increased IgM level ( J:28061 )

• 20+/-6 mg/dl compared to 15+/-3 mg/dl in wild-type mice

growth/size/body

increased spleen weight ( J:28061 )

• spleen weights are between 195 ad 257 mg (0.8% to 1.1% of body weight) compared to wild-type spleens that weigh between 86 and 125 mg (0.35% to 0.6% of body weight)
