homeostasis/metabolism
• reduced mucosal injury and little change in villus height in intestines after mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion
• no significant depositions of IgM, IgG or C3 observed
• pretreatment with IgM or a combination of IgM and IgG restores injury response to ischemia reperfusion
|
renal/urinary system
N |
• no significant effect on renal ischemia reperfusion injury
|
immune system
• mice are more susceptible to pneumococcal infection than controls
• when challenged with a PspA- bacterial strain, mice have a 10-fold higher burden 4 hours after infection
• mice on average die 3.5 days after infection compared to none in wild-type controls
• only 20% of mice survive infection while all wild-type controls survive
• only 12% of mice survive infection with a more virulent PspA+ strain compared to 42% of controls
