immune system
• in spleen of mutants, a 2.6-fold increase in B-1 cells is detected
• in peritoneum, B-1 B cell numbers are elevated ~3-fold at 4 weeks of age through 12 months
• after LPS challenge, marginal zone metallophilic -2+ (MOMA-2+) macrophages of the T and B cell zone fail to establish a ring of complement 3 (C3)-producing macrophages in the outer B cell zone close to the marginal zone
• 72 hours after LPS challenge, spleen white pulp area continues to deteriorate; B cell follicles dissolve
• 7 days after secondary immunization with suboptimal dose of T cell-dependent antigen NP-KLH, number and size of germinal centers in mutant spleens are reduced compared to controls; number is reduced ~4fold, but numbers are normal in mice immunized with 10 or 100 ug of antigen
• germinal center reactions are also impaired when 1 ug of NP-KLH antigen is used for immunization
• after 72 hours of LPS treatment, marginal zone is no longer structured; rings of 2F8+, ER-TR9+, and MOMA-1+ macrophages are not detectable
• T cell zone shows severe destruction with disorganized B and T cells 72 hours after LPS treatment
• germinal center reactions are impaired when 1 ug of NP-KLH antigen is used for immunization
• antibody affinity maturation is compromised in response to suboptimal doses of antigen (NP5-BSA or NP15-BSA)
• elevated in serum of mutants at young ages
• IgG1 levels after immunization with a suboptimal dose (<10 ug) of T cell-dependent antigen NP-KLH >100-fold lower in mutants
• elevated in serum of mutants at 4 weeks, but difference disappears as mice mature
• treatment with the T cell independent antigen NP-Ficoll results in 3-4-fold increase in IgG2a at 7 and 14 days after immunization
• treatment with the T cell independent antigen NP-Ficoll reduced IgG2b levels after immunization
• elevated in serum of mutants at 4 weeks, but difference disappears as mice mature
• IgM levels in serum are ~0.1 ug/ml compared to ~250 ug/ml in serum of wild-type controls; levels do not increase in mice up to 1 year in age
• antigen trapping on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in spleen germinal centers is impaired when 10 ug of NP-KLH antigen is used for immunization; no antigen trapping is detected on FDCs 12 days after immunization, even though titers of NP-specific IgG antibodies are comparable to wild-type
• treatment with the T cell independent antigen NP-Ficoll results in 3-4-fold increase in IgG2a at 7 and 14 days after immunization
• IgG responses to T cell-dependent antigen NP-KLH are impaired at suboptimal antigen doses; at a suboptimal dose 7 days after immunization, IgG antibody levels are ~25-fold lower for primary and secondary responses relative to heterozygous controls
