embryo
• some decidua contained only giant cells and extraembryonic membranes, and others also contained some embryonic remnants
• at E5.5, embryonic tissue, when present, appears as small and short egg cylinders compared to controls; no clear division between embryonic and extraembryonic tissue is apparent
• at E6.5, embryos, when present, are half the size of controls and were two-layered cylinders
• at E6.5, mutants lack amniotic folds and the primary giant cells are prominent and large
• at E7.5, embryos are small egg cylinders without amniotic folds and embryonic mesoderm is not visible; some extraembryonic tissue development appears normal
• at E8.5, remaining embryos are variable in shape and achieved developmental stage; some consist of only extraembryonic tissue, some have rudimentary embryonic epithelium with no mesoderm, while others appear to have developed further to the heart beat stage, although the embryo is severely reduced in size
• at E9.5, remaining embryos are variable in shape and achieved developmental stage

neoplasm
• almost all female mice who have been pregnant at least once develop mammary tumors with a mean tumor free latency of 512 days
• majority of tumors are solid, do not express the estrogen receptor but are CK14 positive
• the majority of the tumors are Dunn type B adenocarcinomas with a medullary growth pattern that display variable necrosis and lack peripheral lymphocytic infiltrate
• carnicomas contain pleomorphic cells with numerous mitotic figures such as lagging chromosomes
• neoplasms often invade in a broad front and push towards the underlying pectoral muscle
• a small minority of tumors have sqaumous characteristics
• pre-cancerous neoplasia are also evident throughout the mammary gland
