mortality/aging
• more susceptible to Japanese encephalitis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus induced lethality
• but susceptibility to encephalomyocarditis virus is similar to controls
|
• Background Sensitivity: when heterozygotes on a mixed ICR background are crossed some homozygous mice survive to adulthood but the numbers are about half that of wild-type littermates
|
immune system
• markedly decreased serum interferon alpha level following infection with Japanese encephalitis virus

• more susceptible to Japanese encephalitis virus and vesicular stomatitis virus induced lethality

homeostasis/metabolism
• markedly decreased serum interferon alpha level following infection with Japanese encephalitis virus
