|
thymus cyst
(
J:140388
)
|
• thymus contains large cysts
|
|
• natural killer cell (NK; DX5+LGL+ cells) are absent
|
|
• levels are Gr-1-ve Mac-1+ve macrophages are reduced
|
|
• spleen contains mainly myeloid-like cells and few lymphoid cells
|
|
• spleen contains no follicles (or germinal centers)
|
|
• mature T and B cell populations are absent
• there are diminished CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T cells and Igk+ light chain+ B cells in the spleen
|
|
• cells functioning in innate immunity are severely decreased in number
|
|
• irradiated mice engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) show much greater engraftment of human hematopoietic cells at 12 weeks than control NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom homozygotes
• percentages of human CD45+ cells engrafted in bone marrow are higher than in NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom homozygotes
• levels of human CD45+ cell and CD3+ T cell engraftment are higher in spleens than in NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom mice
• CD4:CD8 human T cell ratios that are close to normal physiological values and high levels of human B cells are observed in spleens of mice compared to NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom mice
• engraftment of human lymphohematopoietic cells in blood and thymus, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBC) engraftment are higher than in NOD.129S7(B6)-Rag1tm1Mom mice
