mortality/aging
• normal number of deciduae at E6.5 and E7.5
• no homozygous embryos later than E8.5
• 28% of embryos abnormal at E7.5
• no development after E7.5
• by E8.5, all embryos are abnormally small or resorbed
|
embryo
• cells derived from E3.5 embryos in culture cease proliferation after 4 days in culture
|
• three germ layers are identifiable but small
|
• no embryo development after E7.5
|
• smaller and developmentally retarded at E7.5
|
• E6.5 embryos are markedly smaller than heterozygous or wild-type controls
|
• particularly reduced in size at E7.5
• trophoblast cells in culture continue growing after 4 days in culture
|
• lacks exocoelom at E7.5
|
• extraembryonic endoderm forms and is found by immunohistology at E6.5, but appears not to be maintained in E7.5 embryos

cellular
aneuploidy
(

)
• observed in all developmentally delayed embryo
|
polyploidy
(
J:81781
)
• observed in all developmentally delayed embryo
|
• cells derived from E3.5 embryos in culture cease proliferation after 4 days in culture
|
growth/size/body
• smaller and developmentally retarded at E7.5
