immune system
• ratios of T2:T1 and T3:T1 B cells are increased compared to wild-type mice
|
• mutants exhibit a reduction in plasma cells (B220low IgD-CD138+)
|
• in the spleen
|
• 16-18 week old mutants exhibit increased numbers of immature B cells
|
• mutants exhibit an elevation in T2 and to a lesser extent T3 B cells
|
• mutants exhibit an elevation in T2 and to a lesser extent T3 B cells
|
• mutants exhibit an elevation in mature B cells, including both marginal zone and follicular mature B-cell subsets
|
• in the spleen
|
• IgE is not detectable in serum of OVA-treated mutants, but high levels are produced in treated wild-type
|
• in OVA-treated mutants, serum IgG is reduced below saline-treated control levels
(J:125656)
|
• IgG1 is not detected in serum after OVA challenge
|
• mutants exhibit elevated levels of IgM deposition within kidney glomeruli
|
• decrease in anti-chromatin IgG, anti-histone IgG, and anti-dsDNA IgG
|
respiratory system
• ovalbumin-sensitized/challenged mice (OVA) are unable to generate an early phase reaction (EPR- initial phase of brochoconstriction) following OVA provocation
|
hematopoietic system
• ratios of T2:T1 and T3:T1 B cells are increased compared to wild-type mice
|

renal/urinary system
• mutants exhibit elevated levels of IgM deposition within kidney glomeruli, however IgG deposition in the glomeruli is not seen
