immune system
• mice exhibit an attenuated humoral response following injection with KLH unlike wild-type mice
|
• following treatment with LPS, macrophages produce modestly less MCP-1 than wild-type mice
|
• following treatment with LPS or TLR agonists, macrophages and bone marrow dendritic cells produce less IL-12b than wild-type mice
• however, stimulation of bone marrow dendritic cells with high levels of LPS elicits a normal response
|
• following treatment with LPS or TLR agonists, macrophages and bone marrow dendritic cells produce less IL-6 than wild-type mice
• however, stimulation of bone marrow dendritic cells with high levels of LPS elicits a normal response
|
• following treatment with LPS, macrophages and bone marrow dendritic cells produce modestly less TNF than wild-type mice
• however, stimulation of bone marrow dendritic cells with high levels of LPS elicits a normal response
|
• mice are resistant to LPS -induced shock with decreased mortality and production of TNF, IL-6 and IFN-gamma compared to wild-type mice
