Homozygous: Homozygous mousbird animals displayed a diminished T-dependent antibody response to ovalbumin administered with aluminum hydroxide, a diminished T-dependent antibody response to Semliki Forest virus (rSFV)-β-galactosidase (rSFV-β-gal), and a diminished T-independent antibody response to 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl-Ficoll (NP-Ficoll).
Heterozygous: Mice exhibited diminished T-independent antibody response to 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl-Ficoll (NP-Ficoll) compared to wild-type, but not as severe as homozygous mousebird mice.
