hematopoietic system
• the number of immature/transitional B cells is increased
|
• plasma cell foci are seen in the kidney, bone marrow and other lymphoid tissues
|
• in response to a T cell independent antigen transgenic mice produce 65% more specific Igs compared to littermate controls
|
• IgA serum levels are increased
|
• IgE serum levels are increased
|
• a moderate elevation of 3 isotypes of IgG is seen
(J:90901)
|
• serum levels are increased
|
• serum levels are increased
|
• IgM serum levels are increased
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• some transgenic mice have detectable levels of Ig proteins in their urine
|
