immune system
• in an induced asthma model, levels of antigen-specific IgG2a are reduced more than 7-fold compared to wild-type controls
• there is increased production of Th2-associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) in vitro from T cells isolated from BAL fluid from mice induced to have asthma
• in an induced asthma model, about five times as much IL-13 is secreted into the BAL fluid as in wild-type controls one day after the last antigen challenge
• in an induced asthma model, about twice as much IL-4 is secreted into the BAL fluid as in wild-type controls one day after the last antigen challenge
• in an induced asthma model, about twice as much IL-5 is secreted into the BAL fluid as in wild-type controls one day after the last antigen challenge
• airway resistance is significantly increased in an induced asthma model when compared with their WT counterparts
• resistance is over 3-fold greater than in wild-type
• increased resistance is accompanied by more than a 2-fold increase in inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid compared to wild-type mice in the same disease model
• differential counts show a significantly higher number of macrophages, lymphocytes, and eosinophils in the BAL fluid in this asthma model
• goblet cell hyperplasia and mucous hypersecretion are more pronounced in this asthma model than in wild-type mice

neoplasm
N
• primary tumor growth is normal
• injected tumors metastasize less efficiently than in wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
• in an induced asthma model, levels of antigen-specific IgG2a are reduced more than 7-fold compared to wild-type controls
• there is increased production of Th2-associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) in vitro from T cells isolated from BAL fluid from mice induced to have asthma
