mortality/aging
• 5 days after LPS injection, 50% of males recover compared to 33% of wild-type mice
|
• no mutant females recover (survive) compared to about 33% of wild-type mice or heterozygous females
|
• on the 129Sv background a 20% reduction in number of homozygous offspring is noted
|
behavior/neurological
• sign of endotoxemia, displayed when animals are treated with LPS
|
vision/eye
• in cultured retina explants, apoptosis in the ganglial cell layer (GCL) resulting from severing of neuronal connections in the retina is reduced compared to wild-type explants
|
cellular
• in response to LPS treatment, apoptosis in the intestine is significantly reduced compared to wild-type mice
|
• in cultured retina explants, apoptosis in the ganglial cell layer (GCL) resulting from severing of neuronal connections in the retina is reduced compared to wild-type explants
