• IL-6 serum concentrations are reduced
|
• macrophages secrete less IL-6 after stimulation with low concentrations of IL1B or LPS; however no differences are seen with high concentrations or in susceptibility to LPS-induced septic shock
• production of IL-6 is similar to wild-type in peritoneal macrophages stimulated with poly(I-C) and the cellular composition of the spleen, thymus and bone marrow is similar to wild-type

• macrophages secrete less TNF after stimulation with low concentrations of IL1B or LPS; however no differences are seen with high concentrations or in susceptibility to LPS-induced septic shock
