immune system
• IgE-dependent plasma protein extravasation in the ear is reduced by about 65% 30 minutes after antigen challenge, however zymosan A-induced peritoneal inflammation is normal
|
respiratory system
• lung tissue from bleomycin-treated homozygotes had less septal thickening, with fewer monocytes/macrophages, giant cells, fibroblasts, and eosinophils, and less extracellular matris deposition compared to wild-type mice
• the area of the lower lobes with alveolar septal thickening in bleomycin traeted mutant mice is reduced to 39% of wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• bleomycin treatment did not increase prostaglandin E2 levels in mutant mice
