cellular
• lymph node cells from null animals proliferate poorly compared to wild-type, but do produce IFNG in response to PLP or MOG peptides
|
immune system
• null mice on the mixed background are resistant to EAE when immunized with either PLP 139-151 or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55 compared with wild-type (B6 x SJL)F1 mice
|
nervous system
• numbers of foci in the meninges and parenchyma of the spinal cords of null mice are lower compared to control mice
