Notes Homozygotes are characterized by early onset autoimmunity and severe immunodeficiency (J:5579). Mice develop an unusual pneumonia which progresses to accumulation of crystal-containing macrophages in the alveoli (J:5999). Spleen macrophages of homozygotes have an accelerated rate of proliferation which may contribute to the pulmonary disease (J:7274). The number of surface-Ig-bearing lymphocytes (B-cells) is greatly reduced, and the B-cells present are of immature rather than adult type (J:6065). The number of T-cells is normal, but several T-cell functions are defective. Natural killer cell activity is virtually absent (J:6485).
