immune system
• B cell numbers are increased in adult spleen and lymph nodes
• the number of T2 transitional, follicular and marginal zone B cells is increased in the spleen
• the number of T2 transitional B cells is increased in the spleen
• the number of T1 transitional B cells in slightly increased (1.4-fold)
• the percent and number of marginal zone B cells is increased
• in adult mice
• adult mice have splenomegaly
• spontaneous germinal centers form
• white pulp is enlarged
• adult mice have an increased in the size and number of lymphoid follicles
• adult mice have enlarged lymph nodes
• when challenged with TNP-Ficoll, mice generate higher titers of TNO-specific IgM, igG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 compared to wild-type mice
• when challenged with T dependent antigen (TNP-KLH), mice only show an increase in TNP-specific IgM response
• the T-I antibody response in increased while the T-D IgG1 response is normal
• unstimulated ex vivo B cell survive longer than for wild-type B cells with 30% of B cells alive after 16 days in culture when control cells were no longer alive
• B cell activating factor did not enhance ex vivo survival
• B cell do not undergo apoptosis ex vivo as wild-type B cells do
• serum IgA is elevated 2- to 5-fold
• germinal center B cells express more surface IgG
• serum IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3 are elevated 2- to 5-fold
• germinal center B cells express more surface IgM
• serum IgM is elevated 2- to 5-fold
• mice display autoimmune manifestations such as double stranded DNA antibodies and the presence of lymphocyte infiltrate in the kidney and liver

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice do not exhibit a reduction in spleen weight or depletion of B cells in response to administration of TACI-Ig (an inhibitor or B cell activating factor and a proliferation-inducing ligand)

liver/biliary system
• 3 of 4 mice contain lymphocyte infiltration at multiple locations in the kidney and liver

renal/urinary system
• 3 of 4 mice contain lymphocyte infiltration at multiple locations in the kidney and liver

hematopoietic system
• unstimulated ex vivo B cell survive longer than for wild-type B cells with 30% of B cells alive after 16 days in culture when control cells were no longer alive

• B cell do not undergo apoptosis ex vivo as wild-type B cells do

growth/size/body
• adult mice have splenomegaly
