mortality/aging
• die between E10.5 and E12.5
|
growth/size/body
embryo
• yolk sac vessels appear very pale and thin at E11.5 and the small capillaries appear dilated
|
pale yolk sac
(
J:47281
)
• primative erythroid cells appear to be partially arrested, with many cells resembling proerythroblasts
|
liver/biliary system
small liver
(
J:47281
)
• 4-5 times smaller than wild-type
|
pale liver
(
J:47281
)
hematopoietic system
• no mature megakaryocyte colonies or cells are obtained from yolk sacs or fetal livers and ES cells fail to differentiate into mature megakaryocytic cells in vitro, indicating an early block in megakaryocyte development
|
• primative erythroid cells appear to be partially arrested, with many cells resembling proerythroblasts
|
• definitive erythropoiesis is severely impaired as yolk sacs and fetal livers do not generate normal hemoglobinized colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) and burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) colonies and ES cells fail to differentiate into mature erythroid cells
|
• primative erythroid cells appear to be partially arrested, with many cells resembling proerythroblasts
• red blood cells exhibit a prominent delay in nuclear versus cytoplasmic maturation (megaloblastosis)
|
cardiovascular system
• yolk sac vessels appear very pale and thin at E11.5 and the small capillaries appear dilated
|
integument
cellular
• no mature megakaryocyte colonies or cells are obtained from yolk sacs or fetal livers and ES cells fail to differentiate into mature megakaryocytic cells in vitro, indicating an early block in megakaryocyte development
