immune system
• broncheoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from mutants has lower eosinophil recruitment compared to wild-type after OVA challenge
|
• in mutants challenged with OVA, total IgE in BALF and plasma is lower than in wild-type
|
• in a model of IgE antigen-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, mice exhibit decreased dye extravasation (a measure of edema) compared with wild-type mice
|
• increase in Il-5 and Il-13 after OVA challenge is reduced in mutants; leukotriene B4 (Ltb4) increase is absent in OVA challenged mutants
• peribronchial lymph node cells from mutants show decreased Il-5 and Il-13 production in vitro after restimulation with OVA compared to wild-type cellsJ118995Ltb4r
|
• peribronchial and perivascular accumulation of inflammatory cells, and changes to integrity of the airway walls is significantly decreased in mutants compared to wild-type after OVA challenge
|
hematopoietic system
• broncheoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from mutants has lower eosinophil recruitment compared to wild-type after OVA challenge
|
• in mutants challenged with OVA, total IgE in BALF and plasma is lower than in wild-type
|
respiratory system
• goblet cells in airway epithelium produce significantly more mucous than wild-type cells after OVA challenge
|
• peribronchial and perivascular accumulation of inflammatory cells, and changes to integrity of the airway walls is significantly decreased in mutants compared to wild-type after OVA challenge
|
• after ovalbumin (OVA) challenge and methacholine treatment in OVA-sensitized mice, airway hyperresponsiveness is attenuated in mutants compared to wild-type
|
cellular
• peribronchial lymph node cells from mutants show attenuated proliferation in vitro after restimulation with OVA
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in a model of IgE antigen-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, mice exhibit decreased dye extravasation (a measure of edema) compared with wild-type mice
|
• erythropoietin activity in mutant lung homogenates is reduced after OVA challenge compared to controls
