immune system
|
• intermediate levels of IFNalpha, IFNbeta and Il-6 are found in the sera of heterozygotes after injection of poly(I:C)
|
|
• all heterozygotes die within 4 days of infection with VSV (vesicular stomatitis virus) while wild-type survive; with infection by 2 x 108 of the less virulent VSV-GFP, 2/5 heterozygotes survive 8 days while 5/7 wild-type survive 12 days and infection with half the viral titer, 3 out of 4 survive past 12 days
