behavior/neurological
• the inflammatory pain response is decreased in mutants and is similar to wild-type mice treated with an NSAID
|
immune system
• mutants do not have increased prostaglandin E2 production following treatment with lipopolysaccharide
(J:89960)
• mutants have a smaller increase in prostaglandin E2 production following treatment with arachidonic acid compared to wild-type mice
(J:89960)
• following antigen injection mutants do not develop edema and have fewer white blood cells infiltrating the injection site
(J:89960)
• following immunization with chicken type II collagen mutants display a significant reduction in the severity and incidence of arthritis compared to wild-type mice
(J:89960)
• 1.5 to 6 hours after lipopolysaccharide injection mutants do not display an increase in core body temperature unlike wild-type mice
(J:90980)

homeostasis/metabolism
• prostaglandin E2 levels are significantly reduced in null mice compared to wild-type
