additional information deletion of one mevalonate kinase allele yields viable mice with significantly reduced liver mevalonate kinase enzyme activity. Cholesterol levels in tissues and blood, and isoprene end-products ubiquinone and dolichol in tissues are normal in Mvk+/- mice. Mevalonate concentrations are increased in spleen, heart, and kidney yet normal in brain and liver. While the trend is for higher IgA levels in Mvk+/- sera, IgD levels are significantly increased and the animals show increased serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels Mus musculus
