mortality/aging
|
• most mice die 7-10 days after final dose of the immunostimulant dsRNA poly(I:C) as compared to controls
• lethality is a result severe anemia
|
hematopoietic system
|
• hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations are distorted following final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• increase in numbers of bipotential granulocytic/moncytic precursor cells following final dose of poly(I:C)
• accumulation of immature myeloid cells
|
|
• decrease in numbers of myeloid progenitors (Sca-1- cKit+, LS-K+) after final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• Gr1high Mac1+ granulocytes are almost absent from bone marrow after final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• loss of mature neutrophils following final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• decrease in numbers of hematopoietic stem cells and multipotent progenitors (Sca-1+ cKit+, LS+K+) 1 week after final dose of poly(I:C)
|
pancytopenia
(
J:201572
)
|
• following final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• four fold increase in long term repopulating hematopoietic stem cell (LT-HSC) population (lin- CD150+ CD48- Sca-1+ c-Kit+) found in recombined cells
• immunophenotypic LT-HSC population exhibits 2-fold proliferation, but unaltered apoptosis levels
|
immune system
|
• Gr1high Mac1+ granulocytes are almost absent from bone marrow after final dose of poly(I:C)
|
|
• loss of mature neutrophils following final dose of poly(I:C)
