immune system
• in an OVA-elicited airway inflammation model, mutants show a dramatically increased eosinophil count in BAL fluid and in lungs compared to wild-type littermates
|
• splenocytes from mutant mice show enhanced production of Il5 upon stimulation in vitro; anti-CD3 stimulation results in a 5-fold increase in Il5 production vs. wild-type or a 2.5-fold increase in combination with anti-CD28 stimulation
