Mice lacking the gamma interferon receptor have an impaired granulomatous reaction to Schistosoma mansoni infection.
The egg-induced granulomatous reaction in Schistosoma mansoni-infected individuals develops within the portal system of the liver and is the major pathological finding in schistosomiasis. We have infected mice lacking the gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) receptor with S. mansoni larvae and studied the development of hepatic granulomas in these mutant mice in comparison to that in control wild-type ...
متن کاملMice Lacking the Type I Interferon Receptor Are Resistant to Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular pathogen that induces a cytosolic signaling cascade resulting in expression of interferon (IFN)-beta. Although type I IFNs are critical in viral defense, their role in immunity to bacterial pathogens is much less clear. In this study, we addressed the role of type I IFNs by examining the infection of L. monocytogenes in BALB/c mice lacking t...
متن کاملMice lacking the CNTF receptor, unlike mice lacking CNTF, exhibit profound motor neuron deficits at birth
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) supports motor neuron survival in vitro and in mouse models of motor neuron degeneration and was considered a candidate for the muscle-derived neurotrophic activity that regulates motor neuron survival during development. However, CNTF expression is very low in the embryo, and CNTF gene mutations in mice or human do not result in notable abnormalities of the d...
متن کاملProtection from obesity in mice lacking the VLDL receptor.
It has previously been reported that mice lacking the VLDL receptor (VLDLR-/-) exhibit normal plasma lipid levels and a modest decrease in adipose tissue mass. In the present study, the effect of VLDLR deficiency on profound weight gain was studied in mice. Obesity was induced either by feeding of a high-fat, high-calorie (HFC) diet or by crossbreeding mice onto the genetically obese ob/ob back...
متن کاملNO signalling in mice lacking the NO receptor guanylyl cyclase
NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) is accepted to be the major receptor for the signaling molecule NO. NO-GC catalyzes the production of the intracellular second messenger cGMP and thereby has a key regulatory function regarding various physiological processes. NO-GC is made up of one β subunit and one α subunit. On the protein level, there are two α subunits (α1 and α2) and one β subunit (β...
