mortality/aging
• 67% of surviving mice die prior to weaning
|
• most recovered embryos are dying or resorbed between E10.5 and E12.5
91% of embryos are lost between E10.5 and E12.5
• however, survival can be increased by using Rag null mothers
|
embryo
• hemorrhages are evident in the placenta
|
immune system
• hemophagocytosis is evident in the placenta
|
hematopoietic system
• hemophagocytosis is evident in the placenta
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• ~25% of placentas have regions showing mixing of maternal and embryonic blood, and clots of maternal blood are abundant
|
cardiovascular system
• hemorrhages are evident in the placenta
|
growth/size/body
• prior to death pups exhibit varying degrees of growth retardation
