Stock number: 003244
Product name: p55^-;IL-1R^-
Research areas: Apoptosis Research, Cancer Research, Immunology, Inflammation and Autoimmunity Research

Description

Mice homozygous for both targeted mutations lack both interlekin-1 beta type 1 receptor (IL1R1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha p55 (type 1) receptor (TNFR1). They exhibit reduced inflammatory responses and delayed-type hypersensitivity response. They are also susceptible to Listeria monocytogenes infection and have defects in Peyer's patch development, splenic architecture, formation of germinal centers and liver regeneration.

Detailed description

Mice homozygous for both targeted mutations (called TNFRp55(-/-)-IL-1RI(-/-), TNFR1/IL1R1 or IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO) are viable and fertile, lacking both interlekin-1 beta type 1 receptor (IL1R1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha p55 (type 1) receptor (TNFR1). Double homozygotes exhibit characteristics of both the single "knockouts" including reduced inflammatory responses, reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity response, and remain highly susceptible to infection by Listeria monocytogenes. Homozygous mutant mice also have defects in Peyer's patch development, splenic architecture, formation of germinal centers and liver regeneration. Furthermore, IL-1R1/TNFR1 KO mice exhibit alterations in rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) and non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) (a sleep phenotype different from that observed for mice singly homozygous for one or the other of these cytokine receptors), as well as differences in NREMS and REMS following sleep deprivation compared to control mice.
