Mice lacking lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches were found in a C57BL/6J mouse colony maintained at Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd.; it became apparent that these abnormalities were controlled by autosomal chromosome single recessive gene. This gene was named alymphoplasia and was given the gene symbol aly.
These mice lack lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches throughout their bodies. In these mice, immunodeficiency occurs through a mechanism by which hardly any immune response occurs in vivo, although mature T cells and B cells are present.
