N |
• mice are fertile and born at normal Mendelian ratios, exhibit no overt phenotype even after 12 months, and organs do not show any major abnormalities macroscopically

digestive/alimentary system
• mice treated with DSS to induce colitis show delayed intestinal mucosal healing compared to wild-type mice
• DSS-treated mice develop comparable colonic inflammation as treated wild-type mice but colitis persists and this sustained intestinal inflammation is characterized by extensive ulcerations with edematous wall thickening and transmural inflammatory infiltrates consisting mostly of CD11b+ myeloid cells, which is not seen in wild-type colons
