immune system
• the hypersusceptibility of homozygous mutant macrophages to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection ex vivo is not corrected by addition of type I interferon to the culture
|
• mice homozygous for the mutation are unusually susceptible to infection by mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV)
• 50% mortality at day 4 following MCMV infection; 100% mortality at 4.5 days
|
• macrophages of homozygous mutant mice are hypersusceptible to ex vivo infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)
