immune system
N |
• mice exhibit normal development of immune cells with no differences in the percentages of CD19+ B cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells or macrophages detected in splenocytes relative to wild-type controls
|
• bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) show higher mRNA expression levels of IFN-stimulated genes Ifit1 and Mx1 than wild-type BMDMs
• however, mRNA expression of both Ifna4 and Ifnb1 is normal
|
• following infection with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)
• following challenge with VSV
• after lethal VSV infection, mice show significantly lower infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung than wild-type controls
|
• after lethal VSV infection, mice show significantly longer survival time than wild-type controls
|
hematopoietic system
• bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) show higher mRNA expression levels of IFN-stimulated genes Ifit1 and Mx1 than wild-type BMDMs
• however, mRNA expression of both Ifna4 and Ifnb1 is normal
|
mortality/aging
• after lethal VSV infection, mice show significantly longer survival time than wild-type controls
