• there is no suppressive effect of IL-6 family cytokines on the proliferation of osteoblasts isolated from E18.5 calvariae
• the induction of ALP activity by the IL-6 family cytokines IL-6, IL-11, and OSM is markedly suppressed in these mice

mortality/aging
• pups die within one day of birth

immune system
• in lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, there is a 45% reduction in the number of B-1a B cells found in the peritoneum
• the primary and secondary antigen-specific IgG1 response to immunization with T cell dependent antigen is reduced in lethally irradiated mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells
• in lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, IgG2a levels are significantly lower than controls
• the primary antigen-specific IgG2a response to immunization with T cell dependent antigen is also reduced in these chimeric mice
• in lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, IgG2b levels are significantly lower than controls
• the primary and secondary antigen-specific IgG2b response to immunization with T cell dependent antigen is also reduced in these chimeric mice
• the secondary antigen-specific IgM response to immunization with T cell dependent antigen is increased in lethally irradiated mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells
• bone marrow derived dendritic cells treated with IL-6 have a greater reduction in MHC-II surface expression than in controls
• dendritic cells isolated from lymph nodes have a 40% reduction in surface expression of MHC-II
• in lethally irradiated mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, IFN-gamma secretion is 0.6-fold of that in wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
• there is a slight but significant reduction in CFU-M isolated from the bone marrow when macrophage-colony stimulating factor is used as a stimulus
• in lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, there is a 45% reduction in the number of B-1a B cells found in the peritoneum
• the primary and secondary antigen-specific IgG1 response to immunization with T cell dependent antigen is reduced in lethally irradiated mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells
• in lethally irradiated wild-type mice receiving mutant fetal liver cells, IgG2a levels are significantly lower than controls
