hematopoietic system
• significantly higher frequencies of bone marrow macrophage progenitors per femur as shown by increased macrophage colony formation
• however, frequency of immature bone marrow erythroid precursors (TER-119), splenic colony formation, and peripheral blood lymphocyte populations are normal
|
• frequencies of immature erythroid (BFU-E) progenitors per femur are significantly reduced
|
• significantly increased serum IgA levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgE levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgG2a levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgG2b levels
|
immune system
• significantly increased serum IgA levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgE levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgG2a levels
|
• significantly increased serum IgG2b levels
|
• serum interleukin-13 levels are significantly reduced or absent
• in contrast, lung and liver interleukin-13 levels are increased
|
• ~2-fold increase in interferon gamma production from mutant spleen cells in response to activation with anti-CD3
|
• significantly increased IL-10 production from mutant spleen cells in response to activation with anti-CD3
|
• significantly reduced IL-4 production from mutant spleen cells in response to activation with anti-CD3
|
• decreased in vitro sensitivity of resident peritoneal macrophages to LPS, as determined by NO production
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• serum interleukin-13 levels are significantly reduced or absent
• in contrast, lung and liver interleukin-13 levels are increased
