• mice treated with concanavalin A develop more severe hepatitis, high ALT, necrosis, and apoptosis than similarly treated Ikbkgtm1.1Chtr mice
• all mice treated with concanavalin A exhibit increased interferon-gamma and TNF levels compared to in similarly treated Ikbkgtm1.1Chtr mice
• however, depletion of NK/NKT cells with ASIALO antibodies decreases liver damage, liver apoptosis, ALT levels, and IFN-gamma levels induced by concanavalin A
• mice treated with concanavalin A, NK1.1 antibodies, and wild-type mononuclear cells exhibit elevated ALT and IFN-gamma levels and liver damage compared to mice treated with concanavalin A and NK1.1 antibodies
• however, mice treated with concanavalin A, NK1.1 antibodies and Tnfsf10tm1Mjs mononuclear or NK/NKT cells exhibit reduced ALT and IFN-gamma levels and liver damage
