• mice homozgyous for this mutation exhibit a higher viral titer in the spleen than do control mice five days after infection with a sublethal dose (1.5 x 10e5 PFU/20 g of body weight) of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV).

• following infection with a normally sublethal dose of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV), one homozygous mutant mouse died at 4 days post-infection, while three others were sick at 5 days post-infection.
