We observed lymphadenopathy (LAD), cytopenias, liver disease, cavum septum pellucidum (CSP), and increased CD4-CD8-B220-TCRαβ+ T cells (αβDNTs), in addition to the previously described features of an inverted CD4/CD8 ratio, CD4+ T lymphocytopenia, increased B cells, dysgammaglobulinemia, and decreased expression of the natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) receptor.
lpr, a murine mutation of the Fas apoptosis receptor, causes lymphadenopathy and autoantibody production, with lymphadenopathy primarily due to a population of CD4-CD8-B220+ T cells.
