behavior/neurological
• in the hidden-platform Morris water maze, mice exhibit higher latencies across the 14 day training period and show lower target quadrant occupancy in the probe test at day 7, indicating impaired reference memory acquisition
• although mice show similar target quadrant occupancies in the probe trial at da 13, they exhibit reduced target quadrant occupancy under partial-cue conditions in the probe trail at day 14, suggesting impaired hippocampal pattern completion
• in a spatial discrimination version of the radial arm maze task, mutants show more reference memory errors and a higher proportion of 45 degree turns into adjacent arms, indicating hippocampal spatial memory deficits

nervous system
• mice exhibit impaired short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity at hippocampal CA1 and CA3 synapses
• long-term potentiation (LTP) at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses induced by pairing presynaptic stimuli with postsynaptic depolarization is reduced
• LTP is impaired at commissural/associational (C/a)-CA3 synapses
• however, NMDAR-mediated EPSCs are unaffected
• short-term depression during the initial phase of the LTP-inducing stimulus train is increased at (C/A)-CA3 synapses
• mice show impaired short-term plasticity as indicated by reduced paired-pulse facilitation and frequency facilitation

immune system
• 3-fold increase in spleen weight/body weight ratio
• an increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio
• severe leukocytosis
• hypergammaglobulinemia; immunoglobulin deposits are seen along the basal lamina and in the subjacent connective tissue
• enlarged lymph nodes result in the swelling of the ventrolateral neck
• develop an autoimmune phenotype in late adulthood (after 6 months of age) exhibiting features of systemic lupus erythematosus
• increase in levels of anti-ssDNA IgG antibody levels
• mutants exhibit increased concentration of serum gamma-globulins and alpha1-globulins and a decrease of albumin
• leukocyte invasions and Ig deposits are seen in the skin and kidney, and to a lesser extent in liver, skeletal muscle and salivary glands, most often associated with blood vessels and stroma and less so with the parenchyma
• arteries in most tissues, but especially in skin and kidney, are surrounded and invaded by leukocytes, similar to that seen in human leukocytoclastic autoimmune vasculitis
• variable severity of keratitis: dense leukocyte infiltrates are concentrated in the outer half of the corneal stroma, which is thickened and vascularized
• leukocyte aggregates are mostly in the vicinity of larger blood vessles and also invade the glomerula of the parenchyma; Ig deposits are also seen in the glomerula
• skin of aged mutants has multifocal invasion of corium and subcutis by leukocytes (predominantly lymphocytes), often forming large nodular aggregates
• inflammation involves a mixed population of cells consisting of B- and T-lymphocytes and macrophages

vision/eye

• 75% of mutants aged between 6 and 18 months of age develop wart-like protrusions and exulcerations of the skin
• skin lesions resemble human seborrheic keratosis
• 75% of mutants aged between 6 and 18 months of age develop exulcerations of the skin
