• peritoneal macrophages from mice homozygous for this mutation fail to produce tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) alpha in response to unmethylated CpG DNA, a TLR9 ligand
• peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mutant mice fail to produce TNF-alpha in response to
resiquimod, a TLR7 ligand
• peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mutant mice fail to produce TNF-alpha in response to triacyl lipopeptides, TLR2/1 ligands
• peritoneal macrophages from homozygous mutant mice fail to produce TNF-alpha in response to peptidoglycans, TLR2/6 ligands
• lipopolysaccharide, a ligand of TLR4, stimulates production by mutant macrophages of detectable but significantly reduced amounts of TNF-alpha
• homozygous mutant macrophages produce normal amounts of TNF-alpha in response to poly I:C, a TLR3 ligand
