Sftpa1tm1Kor mutation (1 available); any Sftpa1 mutation (20 available)
phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
respiratory system
• following infection with mycoplasma, the numbers of large surfactant aggregates is decreased and higher protein to lipid ratios are present in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared to similarly infected wild-type mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit a decrease in phospholipid content of the VLA (very large aggregates) fraction of the bronchalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and an increase in the phospolipid levels of the ILA (intermediate large aggregates) fraction compared to in wild-type mice
• however, the total phospolipid content of the BAL is normal
