hematopoietic system
• CD25+ thymocytes are severely decreased in aged mice from a 5-fold reduction at 28 days to 1000-fold reduction in aged mice
• thymic lymphoid cells are reduced 25-fold compared to wild-type
• B cell progenitors are lost
• lymphoid progenitors are depleted
• cellularity is reduced by 1.4-fold
• mice only have 30% of red blood cell numbers found in wild-type mice
• at 198 days, B cell progenitors are almost undetectable
• however, at younger ages B cell development is normal
• mice lack B cell fractions C (B220+CD43+CD24+BP-1+), D (B220+CD43-IgM-) and E (B2200+CD43-IgM+) in the bone marrow bone marrow fraction B cells are lacking
