The results of lung histology in the Mecp2 null RTT mouse models showed a picture of nonspecific lymphocytic bronchiolitis associated with lymphocytic vasculitis (Figures 3(b) and 3(d)) and desquamative alveolitis in a half of the examined mutant mice, whereas no significant histological abnormalities were observed in the wt animals. Here, MECP2 is linked to hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
