mortality/aging
• most embryos die by E15.5; no viable embryos found aby E18.5
|
embryo
• embryos are 50% smaller than littermates
|
growth/size/body
• embryos are 50% smaller than littermates
|
hematopoietic system
small thymus
(
J:65417
)
• defect in definitive but not primitive erythropoiesis
|
• thymocytes are blocked in the CD4-/ CD8- stage; CD25+/ CD44- thymocytes were detected; cells can be induced to develop into CD4+/ CD8+ cells by treatment with anti-CD3epsilon antibodies
|
• fewer nonnucleated erythrocytes
|
• apparent at E14.5
|
• increased number of nucleated erythroblasts
|
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
small thymus
(
J:65417
)
• thymocytes are blocked in the CD4-/ CD8- stage; CD25+/ CD44- thymocytes were detected; cells can be induced to develop into CD4+/ CD8+ cells by treatment with anti-CD3epsilon antibodies
|
liver/biliary system
• fetal liver cells have a reduced ability to form BFU-E colonies in culture
|
small liver
(
J:65417
)
• the liver is half the size of wild-type
|
nervous system
• reduced overall size of the thalamus; small thalamic nuclei were noted including the lateral geniculate nuclei
|
integument
endocrine/exocrine glands
small thymus
(
J:65417
)
