immune system

decreased tumor necrosis factor secretion ( J:39519 )

• mice produce 60-fold less TNF-alpha in response to treatment with 100 ug LPS than wild-type mice

decreased susceptibility to endotoxin shock ( J:39519 )

• 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

increased susceptibility to bacterial infection ( J:39519 )

• 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
