respiratory system
• bronchoconstriction in response to methacholine provocation in ovalbumin-treated mice shows that mutants exhibit prolonged and hightened airway hyperresponsiveness
|
immune system
• mutants with ovalbumin-induced lung allergic inflammation exhibit delayed, but not abrogated, eosinophil accumulation in the airway lumen and prolonged presence of eosinophils in lung interstitium
|
hematopoietic system
• in bone marrow, numbers of mIL-3-dependent colony forming unit-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) are reduced
• in a single cell megakaryocyte growth assay, numbers of Il-6- and mTPO-dependent megakaryoblasts are reduced in mutants compared to wild-type

• mutants with ovalbumin-induced lung allergic inflammation exhibit delayed, but not abrogated, eosinophil accumulation in the airway lumen and prolonged presence of eosinophils in lung interstitium
