immune system
• activated T cells show dramatically increased response to CXCL9 and CXCL11, and a lesser increased response to CXCL10 in vitro, relative to wild-type cells; GTPgammaS membrane incorporation is significantly increased in response to CXCR3 agonist stimulation, correlating with enhanced chemotaxis
• CXCL12-evoked chemotactic responses are diminished compared to wild-type controls

Fusion of lumbar vertebrae in Gnai3tm1Lbi/Gnai3tm1Lbi mice

skeleton
• one mouse has the eighth rib ectopically attached to the sternum
• a single mouse lacking rib fusions had small triangular outgrowths of cartilage at the distal end of the second rib pair
• Background Sensitivity: fusions of the cartilaginous portion of the distal ribs are seen in 95% of mice on a 129S/SvEv background but in less than 40% of mice on a mixed 129S/SvEv and C57BL/6 background
• Background Sensitivity: the average number of fusions is reduced in mice on a mixed 129S/SvEv and C57BL/6 background compared to mice on a 129S/SvEv background
• fusions typically involve only ribs that articulate with the sternum
• ectopic connection of the eighth rib to the sternum is seen in 1 case
• fusions are detected as early as E14.5
• Background Sensitivity: incidence of lumbar defects in reduced in mice on a mixed 129S/SvEv and C57BL/6 background compared to mice on a 129S/SvEv background
• deformation or partial fusion of one or more vertebral bodies in 9 of 10 mice in the lumbar region
• in 2 of 10 pups pointed outgrowths that do not fuse are detected
• in 7 of 10 pups a small bridge of bone connecting the bodies of two or three adjacent vertebrae is present
