immune system
|
• mice do not produce detectable TNF-alpha in response to treatment with 100 ug LPS unlike wild-type mice
|
|
• mice survive doses of LPS and D-galactosamine that are three orders of magnitude higher than doses that would kill wild-type mice
|
|
• bacterial load is 1000- and 50-fold higher than wild-type in the liver and spleen, respectively

immune system
|
• mice produce 60-fold less TNF-alpha in response to treatment with 100 ug LPS than wild-type mice
|
|
• at low doses of LPS and D-galactosamine lethality is 30% compared to 60% in wild-type mice and a high doses lethality is only increased slightly
|
|
• bacterial load in the liver and spleen are 20- and 4-fold higher, respectively, than in wild-type mice but not as high as in homozygotes
