Phenotypes Due to the Combined Deletion of Regions 4 and 6
(A) Underinflation of lungs is the cause of the death of most Tnfdel4del6/+/Tnfr1+/− pups soon after birth. Tnfdel4del6/+/Tnfr1+/− pups that survive develop IBD (B) and extremely severe arthritis (C).
(B) Immune cell infiltration in the cecum of a 20 day-old Tnfdel4del6/+/Tnfr1+/− pup as seen by H&E staining.
(C) Dislocated and pannus-infiltrated ankle in the same animal as in (B).
