immune system
• thymus cellularity is reduced by more than 25%
|
• mean spleen cellularity is reduced by about a third though variability exists between mice
|
• peritoneal resident macrophages produce significantly more nitrous oxide when incubated with IFN-gamma and TNF
|
• circulating IL-6 levels are significantly higher after injection of TNF
|
• embryonic fibroblasts derived from these mice secrete a third more IL-6 when cultured with TNF
|
• mice secrete more cytokines into circulation in response to injections of TNF
• circulating levels of IL-1 and IL-6 are greater than wild-type 2- and 4- hours after injection of TNF
• embryonic fibroblasts derived from these mice secrete a third more IL-6 when cultured with TNF
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• circulating IL-6 levels are significantly higher after injection of TNF
|
hematopoietic system
• thymus cellularity is reduced by more than 25%
|
• mean spleen cellularity is reduced by about a third though variability exists between mice
|
• peritoneal resident macrophages produce significantly more nitrous oxide when incubated with IFN-gamma and TNF
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• thymus cellularity is reduced by more than 25%
