immune system
• B cell development blocked in bone marrow at the pre-B cell stage
• numbers of double negative dendritic cells reduced in spleen to half of control levels and very few found in thymus
• plasmacytoid dendritic cells in spleen reduced considerably
• peripheral B cells lacking
• reduced numbers of both types of single positive T cells
• display cytoplasmic mu heavy chain and high levels of preBCR
• pre-B cells held up is S and G2 phase of cell cycle
• 5 fold increase in numbers
• soluble IgM lacking
