mortality/aging
• 63% of mice survive to P18; most deaths occur prior to P7
|
reproductive system
• moderate numbers of primordial germ cells (PGCs) are seen in genital ridges relative to wild-type and KitlSl-gb homozygotes at E11.5
• at E9.5, PGC numbers in the hindgut are 44% of wild-type
|
• at E10.5, 83% of total PGCs have migrated from hindgut, compared to 93% in wild-type
|
• proliferation indices of migratory (in mesentery and genital ridges) and postmigratory PGCs (in genital ridges) at 10.5 and 11.5 are significantly reduced compared to wild-type values (54-66% of wild-type values)
|
hematopoietic system
• significantly lower than wild-type at birth (41% of wild-type value)
|
• significantly lower than wild-type at P24-25
|
• significantly increased compared to wild-type at P24-25
|
• significantly increased compared to wild-type at P24-25
