immune system
• in a serum transfer model of inflammatory arthritis, fewer macrophages are recruited to the site of inflammation compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
• following intraperitoneal thioglycollate injection, fewer macrophages are recruited into the peritoneum compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, in vitro migration of bone marrow derived macrophages is normal in response to several chemoattractants
|
• circulating inflammatory monocytes are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
• in a serum transfer model of inflammatory arthritis, mice exhibit no inflammation, lower histological scores, and reduced macrophage infiltration compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, adoptive transfer of wild-type bone marrow restores susceptibility to induced arthritis

• fewer monocyte precursors are found within the bone marrow compared to in wild-type mice

hearing/vestibular/ear
N |
• contrary to expectation, homozygotes display a normal inner ear morphology relative to wild-type mice
• at E16.5, E18.5, P2 and 2 months of age, no significant differences in the cytoarchitecture of vestibular and auditory sensory epithelia or aberrant mitoses in developing hair cells are observed

cardiovascular system
N |
• at birth, homozygotes display normal heart histology, with no signs of overproliferation or thickening of the ventricular wall
