immune system
|
• mild splenomegaly
|
|
• increase in spleen cellularity
|
|
• decrease in CD4/CD8 T cell ratios in the peripheral blood, with a slight trend in decrease in the spleen
|
|
• increase of B cell precursors as a percentage of bone marrow B cells
|
|
• while the frequency of mature B cells is decreased, total numbers remain elevated as a result of the overall increase in splenic B cells
|
|
• increase in peripheral blood leukocyte count
|
|
• increase in peripheral blood lymphocyte count
|
|
• total number of B cells is increased
• however, frequency of splenic B cells is unchanged
|
|
• increase in frequency and total number of splenic transitional B cells; this increase occurs primarily within the transitional 1 (T1) B cell compartment with a milder increase in transitional 2 (T2) and transitional 3 (T3) B cells
|
|
• cell-intrinsic increase of pre-B cell percentages but no differences in pre-pro B or pro-B cells
|
|
• total number of T cells is increased
• however, frequency of splenic T cells is unchanged
|
|
• increase in percentages of double negative T cells in peripheral blood
|
|
• among CD8 T cells, mice show increased percentages of effector memory CD8 T cells in the peripheral blood
|
|
• mice show increased activated and/or effector T cells
|
|
• decrease in marginal zone (MZ) B cells; this change is not due to a reduction of MZ B cell numbers but an increase in the other mature B cell subsets
|
|
• treatment of transitional or mature B cells, but not immature cells from bone marrow, with IL-4 increases the survival of B cells compared to control B cells indicating that B cells are hyperresponsive to IL-4-induced rescue
|
|
• 12-week-old mice injected with pristane, an inducer of lupus-like disease, develop higher titers of anti-DNA IgG 10 weeks after pristane treatment, however this difference is lost by 20 weeks, indicating that sensitized mice show accelerated autoimmunity
• however, under regular conditions mice do not show increased levels of ANAs or anti-DNA antibodies indicating that mice do not develop autoimmunity spontaneously
