mortality/aging
• mice begin to die at 3 months of age with 50% of mice dead by 12 months of age
• death appears to be renal failure secondary to glomerulonephritis
|
immune system
• B cells have 2-fold or higher proliferation in response to numerous stimuli
|
• mice have obvious splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy resulting from increased B cells
|
• the percentage of B cells in the spleen is increased about 50% compared to controls
|
• percentage of plasma cells found in spleen and lymph nodes is greatly increased
|
• IgA levels are significantly increased
|
• IgG1 levels are significantly increased
• antigen specific IgG1 levels are also increased relative to controls after immunization
|
• IgG2a levels are significantly increased
|
• IgG2b levels are significantly increased
|
• IgM levels are increased almost 2-fold
• antigen specific IgM levels are also increased relative to controls after immunization
• antigen specific IgM responses are greater for T cell independent antigens than T cell dependent antigens
|
• macrophages produce more IFN-alpha and IL-6 in response to numerous TLR ligands
|
• mice have splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy resulting from increased B cells
|
• dendritic cells have excessive cytokine production in response to numerous TLR ligands
|
• plasmacytoid dendritic cells produce more IFN-alpha and IL-6 in response to A- or D-type CpG DNA than controls
|
• there is increased IFN-alpha secretion by plasmacytoid dendritic cells in response to TLR engagement
• injection of a TLR7 ligand leads to increased levels of IFN-alpha 1 to 3 hours later compared to controls
|
• macrophages and dendritic cells secrete increased amounts IL-6 in response to numerous TLR ligands
• injection of a TLR7 ligand leads to increased levels of IL-6 1 to 3 hours later compared to controls
|
• macrophages and dendritic cells secrete increased amounts TNF in response to numerous TLR ligands
|
• anti-nuclear antigen antibodies are found in the serum
|
• anti-double stranded DNA antibodies are found in the serum
|
• lymphocyte infiltrates are found in the liver and lungs
|
• mice develop a lethal glomerulonephritis with deposition of IgG, IgM and complement components C3 and C1q in the glomeruli
|
• lymphocyte infiltrates are found in the liver and lungs
|
renal/urinary system

|
liver/biliary system
• lymphocyte infiltrates are found in the liver and lungs
|
hematopoietic system
