mortality/aging
• kainic acid-exposed mice over-expressing rAAV1/2-NPY exhibit no mortality unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
reproductive system
• average litter size is 7.64 +/- 0.51 compared to 4.86 +/- 0.32 in wild-type mice
|
immune system
• all B cell subsets reduced
|
• type 1 and type 2 cells both reduced
|
• significantly increased in the lymph nodes
|
• slightly reduced in the spleen
|
• significantly increased in the lymph nodes
|
small spleen
(
J:118850
)
• reduced B cell numbers among splenocytes
|
• reduced numbers of B cells
|
• decreased levels released by macrophage
|
• decreased levels released by macrophage
|
• impaired
• protected against Th1 cell mediated inflammatory conditions such as those resulting from sodium dextran sulfate treatment
|
• hyper responsive to activation
|
• antigen presentation defective as tested by mixed lymphocyte response tests
|
• both baseline levels and levels in response to antigen are reduced
|
• in response to antigen
|
• levels of Il12 released are reduced
• levels of TNF released are reduced
|
• reduced production
|
• swelling reduced to 55% that of controls
• reduced proliferation of lymph node cells
• reduced production of IFN-gamma
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• decreased levels released by macrophage
|
• decreased levels released by macrophage
|
• kainic acid-exposed mice over-expressing rAAV1/2-NPY exhibit no mortality unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
• territorial aggression but not spontaneous aggression is increased in homozygous mutants
• injection of an Htr1a agonist reduces aggressive behavior in a dose-dependent manner
|
hyperactivity
(
J:92440
)
• homozygous males display increased movement in an open field test
|
nervous system
