immune system
• B cell numbers in the spleen are reduced by about 50%
• follicular B cell numbers are reduced by about 30%
• marginal zone B cells are decreased by more than 75%
• T cell numbers in the spleen are decreased about 30%
• decrease in numbers is more evident in the memory T cell population than in controls
• spleen weight is reduced by about 20-30%
• spleen cellularity is reduced by about a third
• spleen B cell follicles are smaller with fewer cells
• homeostatic proliferation of mutant B cells transferred into a lymphopenic host is less than controls
• one-tenth the number of mutant B cells survive as controls 21 days after being transferred into a lymphopenic hosts
• secondary responses to a T cell-dependent antigen are lower as measured by immunoglobulin secretion
• in vitro B cell proliferation in response to a recall antigen is impaired
• one-quarter the number of mutant CD4 T cells survive as controls 21 days after being transferred into a lymphopenic hosts
• homeostatic proliferation of mutant CD8 T cells transferred into a lymphopenic host is less than controls
• one-fifth the number of mutant CD8 T cells survive as controls 21 days after being transferred into a lymphopenic hosts

• in vitro B cell proliferation in response to a recall antigen is impaired
• fewer homozygous and heterozygous mice are born to heterozygous parent than expected (21% of the offspring are Rras2-/- and 49% of the offspring were Rras2+/-; n=378)
