cellular
• fewer than half as many macrophages phagocytosed S. pneumoniae at 37C compared with controls, with the reduction in phagocytosis being proportional to the reduction in surface binding
• marginal zone macrophages of the spleen failed to phagocytose the polysaccharide dextran
|
mortality/aging
• more rapid mortality after S. pneumoniae infection, with only 20% of homozygotes surviving at 48 hours compared to 90% of wild-type
|
immune system
• peritoneal macrophages were impaired (3-fold reduction) in ability to bind S. pneumoniae at 4C after infection
• marginal zone macrophages in the spleen were impaired in trapping S.pneumoniae in the marginal zone and clearing the bacteria from the circulation

• marginal zone macrophages of the spleen failed to phagocytose the polysaccharide dextran
|
• less than 18% of homozygotes survived infection with S. pneumoniae compared with more than 60% of wild-type and exhibited persistent septicemia after infection compared with controls
