immune system
• almost complete loss of LPS induced increased in TNF levels
|
• failure of LPS induced secretion in bone marrow?derived macrophages
• however, LPS induced increases in expression are normal and full length protein accumulates on the plasma membrane indicating a defect in shedding of the protein
|
integument
• paws exhibit thinning of the epidermis
• however, no difference in the thickness of the back skin is seen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• almost complete loss of LPS induced increased in TNF levels
|
limbs/digits/tail
• forepaws and hind paws show thinning of the footpads and show pallor and translucency, lacking the normal thickening and hyperpigmentation of the footpad
• mice show reduced cell proliferation in the paws
