|
• homozygous mice do not develop spontaneous autoimmune disease; no immune cell infiltration indicative of autoimmune disease is observed in organs of homozygotes
• total cellularity and composition of immune cells in primary and secondary lymphoid organs is not different from controls
• levels of activated T cells in the periphery is not altered compared to wild-type
• basal serum levels of immunoglobulins are not different from wild-type
• inflammatory responses in models of hypersensitivity are unaltered
• antiviral cytotoxic T lymphocyte reactions are intact in mutants as shown by responses to LCMV and influenza virus A
