Mice are resistant to the induction of endotoxin shock due to defect in the induction of Tnf in response to LPS. Mice display impaired host defense against T.gondii with reduced parasite clearance and decreased Ifng production. Mice also show increased susceptibility to M.tuberculosis and L.monocytogenes infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11163183, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19001140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23842752}. |
