mortality/aging
• in response to challenge with L. monocytogenes (2 104 CFU), 73% of homozygotes die by day 4 compared with only 6% of wild-type controls
• only 6% of homozygotes survive beyond day 6, whereas 50% of wild-type controls remain healthy
|
immune system
• in response to challenge with Listeria monocytogenes (2 104 CFU ), homozygotes exhibit an increased bacterial load in spleen and liver prior to the development of a specific cellular immune response, suggesting a defect in innate immunity
|
• unlike wild-type mice, homozygotes fail to exhibit a fMLF (formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine)-induced calcium flux in thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal (TP) neutrophils and PBMCs
• in vitro, mutant TP neutrophils fail to chemotax in response to fMLF, whereas wild-type neutrophils display a characteristic bell-shaped dose-response curve
• in vivo, homozygotes fail to display an increase in peripheral blood neutrophil concentrations at 90 min after s.c. injection with 200 l of 2 M fMLF, indicating absence of neutrophil mobilization
• no significant differences are observed in MIP-1alpha-induced chemotaxis between homozygous mutant and wild-type neutrophils
|
• in response to challenge with L. monocytogenes (2 104 CFU), homozygotes display an increased bacterial load (32- and 45-fold more bacteria in spleen and liver, respectively) at 2 days after infection relative to wild-type controls

• in response to challenge with L. monocytogenes (2 104 CFU), 73% of homozygotes die by day 4 compared with only 6% of wild-type controls
