Mouse strains with null mutations in the gamma interferon gene (Ifng) or the gamma interferon receptor gene (Ifngr) have been engineered. The use of these strains as animal models of viral and bacterial infections has enhanced our understanding of the role of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in the host immune response. However, direct comparisons between Ifng-/- (GKO) and Ifngr-/- (RGKO) mice have been problematic...
