cellular
• in response to cytokine stimulation, CD4+ T cells show increased and prolonged STAT4 phosphorylation
|
immune system
• Th1 and Th2 differentiation is increased in mutant CD4+ T cells compared to wild-type
|
• interferon gamma (Ifng)and Il-4 production is increased in CD4+ T cells as result of prolonged STAT4 phophorylation
|
• wild-type mice have 35-fold more living K. pneumoniae in the lungs 2 days after infection than mutant mice, likely due to increased cytokine elaboration by Ptpn13-deficient CD4+ T cells

hematopoietic system
• Th1 and Th2 differentiation is increased in mutant CD4+ T cells compared to wild-type
