Giftm1a/tm1a mice exhibit signatures of Cbl deficiency. (a) Immunofluorescence analysis of the glandular stomach regions of wild-type (i) and Giftm1a/tm1a (ii) mice stained (red) for the presence of Gif with specific antiserum (×400 magnification). (b) Representative photograph of 8-week-old Giftm1a/tm1a and wild-type pups from Giftm1a/tm1a (left), Giftm1a/+(middle), or wild-type (right) dams. (c) Mean body weights of F1
Giftm1a/tm1a (red triangles), F2
Giftm1a/tm1a (purple triangles), and wild-type (blue circles) mice between 3 and 16 weeks of age. (d) Blood plasma Cbl concentrations Giftm1a/tm1a and wild-type mice. Dashed lines show the detection limits of the analyzer. Black bars represent geometric mean values. ***, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05 (ANOVA with Dunn’s multiple-comparison post hoc test).
