nervous system
• after axotomy of facial nucleus, density of microglia is slightly decreased in striatum of mutants
|
• in response to LPS, conductance increases of membrane currents in mutant cells are much reduced compared to wild-type
|
cellular
• after LPS treatment, microglial cells in culture do not show decreased proliferation like that shown in wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• nitric oxide (NO) release is complete absent in mutants treated with LPS
|
hematopoietic system
• after axotomy of facial nucleus, density of microglia is slightly decreased in striatum of mutants
|
immune system
• after axotomy of facial nucleus, density of microglia is slightly decreased in striatum of mutants
