モエシンKOマウスは以下の表現型異常が認められた。末梢血白血球減少、貧血、体重減少と脾腫大、骨髄造血幹細胞の減少、骨髄・脾臓のB細胞・形質細胞の減少とT細胞の増加、脾臓の濾胞構造の不明瞭化である。一方、モエシンKOマウスにモエシン蛋白質を免疫したところ、抗モエシン抗体が産生された。前処置後の野生型マウスに抗モエシン抗体を産生する脾臓・骨髄細胞を骨髄内移植したところ、野生型マウスに抗モエシン抗体産生、TNFαとIFNγ濃度の上昇、白血球減少がみとめられたが、血小板減少と貧血は認められなかった。
Moesin KO mice grew normally. However, the body weight of moesin KO mice was lower than that of WT mice. Complete blood counts of moesin KO mice revealed leukocytopenia and macrocytic anemia ; platelet counts were comparable. Moesin KO mouse spleens were heavier than those of WT mice and follicle formation in spleens of moesin KO mice were obscure with increased CD3^+lymphocytes and reduced CD19^+lymphocytes as compared with WT mice. BM of moesin KO mice was normocellular and characterized by increased CD3^+lymphocytes and reduced CD19^+lymphocytes as seen in spleens of moesin KO mice. The number of lineage negative, Sca-1^+, and c-Kit^+(LSK) mouse HSCs in moesin KO BM tended to be lower than that of WT mice. Moesin KO spleen/BM cells capable of producing anti-moesin antibodies were infused into BM of WT B6 male mice. Transplanted mice showed leukocytopenia and increase of TNFαand IFNγin plasma compared to WT B6 male mice transplanted with WT spleen/BM cells, but anemia and thrombocytopenia were not observed.
