Ccl3tm1Unc mutation (1 available); any Ccl3 mutation (13 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• male mice consume more saccharin in an ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion test compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a stronger response to ethanol in an ethanol-induced conditioned taste aversion test compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, saccharin consumption in female mice is normal
• male mice exhibit increased drinking of an ethanol or quinine solution compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice exhibit longer duration of ethanol-induced loss of righting response compared with similarly treated wild-type mice

immune system
• 13-28% decrease in the number of infiltrating neutrophils in the skin at 4 and 8 hours after immune complex challenge compared to wild-type
• 20% reduction in edema, but no difference in hemorrhage, when cutaneous reverse passive Arthus reaction was induced compared to wild-type

hematopoietic system
• 13-28% decrease in the number of infiltrating neutrophils in the skin at 4 and 8 hours after immune complex challenge compared to wild-type

immune system
• mice treated with toxin A exhibit less severe enteritis (reduced fluid accumulation, neutrophil infiltration, and epithelial damage) compared with wild-type mice
• mice treated with toxin A exhibit less severe enteritis (reduced fluid accumulation, neutrophil infiltration, and epithelial damage) compared with wild-type mice
• influenza viral titers are higher in mutants at day 3, 6 and 7 post infection compared to wild-type, however by day 21 post infection, no virus is detected, indicating a delay in T cell-dependent viral clearance
• reduced pneumonitis after infection with influenza virus
• resistance to Coxsackie virus-induced myocarditis

digestive/alimentary system
• mice treated with toxin A exhibit less severe enteritis (reduced fluid accumulation, neutrophil infiltration, and epithelial damage) compared with wild-type mice
