Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced T to A transversion at base pair 117,615,238 (v38) on chromosome 8, or base pair 116,948 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000074 encoding the Plcg2 gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 3,532 in the mRNA sequence NM_172285 within exon 4 of 33 total exons. The mutation results in a tryptophan (W) to arginine (R) substitution at position 1113 (W1113R) in the phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC-?2) protein.
Phenotype

Homozygous: Mice showed decreased TNFα secretion in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands poly(I:C) (TLR3) and R848 (TLR7/8).

Heterozygous: Mice showed decreased TNFα secretion in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand R848 (TLR7/8). The T-independent antibody response to 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl-Ficoll (NP-Ficoll) was diminished.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms
Allelic Composition: (Genetic Background: )

  • immune system
    • decreased tumor necrosis factor secretion [MP:0008561]
Strain Development
Original mutant was a C57BL/6J G3 ENU-induced mutant; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
