Figure 3. Interactions between wildtype or Magel2 knockout mice and novel partner mice in a tube test or three-chamber assay.

(a,b) Tube test shows no difference for either sex in the percentage of wins between wildtype mice and novel partners or Magel2 knockout mice and novel partners (three novel partner pairings per experimental mouse) (unpaired t-test). (c,d) Both wildtype and Magel2 knockout male and female mice spent more time with novel partners than novel objects (unpaired t-test). (c) Male Magel2 knockout mice showed no difference in time spent with novel partners than did their wildtype counterparts (unpaired t-test). (d) Female Magel2 knockout mice spent more time with novel partner mice than did their wildtype counterparts (unpaired t-test). n=20 per genotype per sex. **, p<0.01; ****, p<0.0001.
