immune system
• in vitro, mutant bone marrow neutrophils show a ~50% reduction in fMLP-induced chemotaxis relative to wild-type neutrophils both at 1 and 10 uM fMLP
• mutant neutrophils show a significant reduction in fMLP-induced F-actin formation, with a slower rate of actin polymerization relative to wild-type neutrophils
• however, both PMA- and fMLP-stimulated mutant bone marrow neutrophils exhibit normal superoxide production relative to wild-type neutrophils
• 3 hrs after induction of peritonitis by sodium periodate injection, circulating leukocyte counts are not significantly increased, unlike in wild-type controls
• 3 hrs after induction of peritonitis, only a small increase in peripheral neutrophil counts is observed, unlike in wild-type controls where circulating neutrophil counts are increased by >3-fold
• 3 hrs after sodium periodate injection into the peritoneum, mutant mice exhibit a >50% reduction in neutrophil accumulation at the site of inflammation relative to wild-type controls
• 3 hrs after i.p. injection of sodium periodate, mutant mice display impaired neutrophil chemotaxis and in vivo recruitment to sites of acute inflammation relative to wild-type controls
