hematopoietic system
• the number of dendritic cells is increased in the spleen
|
• the total splenic B cell population is increased however the proportions of different B cell stages are the same as in wild-type littermates
|
• the density of B cell zones is increased
|
• IgG subclasses except for IgG3 are increased
