They further suffer from severe growth retardation, infertility, abnormal gait and slight paralysis of the limbs. In an experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) model, mutant mice exhibited reduced disease severity relative to wild-type mice, as well as reduced recruitment of lymphocytes, monocytes/microglia, and NK cells to the spinal cord. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26642356}. |
