mortality/aging
• embryos die between E11.5 and E13.5
|
liver/biliary system
• E12.5 embryos are smaller than controls
• these livers are almost completely devoid of hematopoietic cells, and their sinusoidal cavities are empty
|
hematopoietic system
• hematopoietic cells are absent in the E12.5 liver but the formation of primitive nucleated erythrocytes in the yolk sac is normal
|
• hematopoietic cells are absent in the E12.5 liver
• fetal liver cells are unable to produce any myeloid or erythroid colonies in vitro
|
cardiovascular system
• severe intraventricular bleeding is seen in about half of E12.5 embryos
• hemorrhage is observed in the nerve cell layer as foci of various sizes, some appearing to extend into and lift the ependymal epithelium
|
• severe spinal canal bleeding is seen in about half of E12.5 embryos
|
