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
