N
• the early embryonic lethality associated with Pcnatm1.1Mdsc homozygotes is rescued by the presence of the transgene

reproductive system
• most meiotic chromosomes in mutant mice display elongated chromosome axes
• testis are 40% the size of wild-type testis
• meiotic progression is disrupted at early pachynema resulting in a complete loss of spermatocytes
• mice are sterile

immune system
• there is a 50% reduction of IgG3 surface expression compared to wild-type on B cells stimulated ex vivo with LPS to induce switching from IgM to IgG3
• there is a 25% reduction of surface IgG1 expression compared to wild-type on B cells stimulated ex vivo with LPS and IL-4 to induce switching to IgG1
• the decrease in switching to IgG1 accumulated after the second division, indicating a decrease in switching at each generation
• switch junctions between mu and gamma3 segments contain less mutations than in wild-type B cells
• splenic B cells had a higher rate of somatic mutations in the rearranged V186.2 gene segment after immunization with NP antigen
• the overall frequency of unique mutations at the V186.2 gene segment was 9.1 x 10-2 mutations/base, which was significantly higher than the 7.2 x 10-2 mutations/base detected in wild-type mice
• mutations that occur at A:T site is reduced by about 2-fold while the frequency of C:G mutations is increased by 2-fold
• there is also an increase in mutations of GYW motifs that are considered a sight of action for activation-induced cytidine deaminase

hematopoietic system
• there is a 50% reduction of IgG3 surface expression compared to wild-type on B cells stimulated ex vivo with LPS to induce switching from IgM to IgG3
• there is a 25% reduction of surface IgG1 expression compared to wild-type on B cells stimulated ex vivo with LPS and IL-4 to induce switching to IgG1

endocrine/exocrine glands
• testis are 40% the size of wild-type testis

cellular
• most meiotic chromosomes in mutant mice display elongated chromosome axes
