Specific homeostatic mechanisms confer stability in innate immune responses, preventing injury or death from infection. Here we identify, from a screen of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-mutagenized mice, a mutation causing both profound susceptibility to infection by mouse cytomegalovirus and approximately 20,000-fold sensitization to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), poly(I.C) and immunostimulatory (CpG) DNA. The LPS hypersensitivity phenotype is not suppressed by mutations in Myd88, Trif, Tnf, Tnfrsf1a, Ifnb, ...[more]
