phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• normal ratio of homozygotes present up to E13.5 but no viable embryos after E14.5

liver/biliary system
• although liver size was normal and there were no indications of apoptosis, liver damage was present at E13.5
• severe liver necrosis at E14.5 with diffuse bleeding and generalized edema in the only surviving embryo examined at E14.5

cellular
• increased susceptibility of embryo fibroblasts to cadmium and hydrogen peroxide

phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• exposure to cadmium was lethal for all male and 2 out of 3 female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination compared to no male and only 1 female (out of 4) death in mutants without the cre transgene

homeostasis/metabolism
• exposure to cadmium was lethal for all male and 2 out of 3 female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination compared to no male and only 1 female (out of 4) death in mutants without the cre transgene
• cadmium exposure resulted in cell degeneration and necrosis in the liver, lung, and pancreas in all male mutants and some of the female mutants after induction of cre mediated recombination
• transgenic mice after induction of cre accumulate less cadmium in the liver and kidneys compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene

immune system
• transgenic mice after induction of cre have one third of the number of white blood cells compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
• the lymphocyte population in particular is severely reduced in transgenic mice after induction of cre compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene

hematopoietic system
• transgenic mice after induction of cre have one third of the number of white blood cells compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
• the lymphocyte population in particular is severely reduced in transgenic mice after induction of cre compared to control transgenic mice that do not carry the cre transgene
