Homozygous: Homozygous screamer mice lack T-dependent IgG responses to both aluminum hydroxide (alum)-emulsified ovalbumin (OVA) and recombinant Semliki Forest virus (rSFV)-β-galactosidase as well as a T-independent IgM response to NP-Ficoll. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood determined that the screamer mice exhibit a strong deficiency in B cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells.
Heterozygous: Not examined.
