mortality/aging
• though some abnormal embryos are detected at E8.5, no mice are present at E9.5
|
embryo
• embryonic cells transplanted into nude mice exhibit reduced teratoma formation with no differentiation into mesodermal derivates unlike ES cells from wild-type mice
|
• at E6.5
|
• at E7.5 the epiblast is thicker than in wild-type mice with multiple cell layers
|
• at E7.5, mice lack mesoderm
|
cellular
• the number of proliferating cells in an embryo is 4-fold less than in wild-type embryos
• embryonic stem (ES) cells exhibit decreased proliferation compared to wild-type ES cells
• embryonic cells transplanted into nude mice exhibit reduced teratoma formation with no differentiation into mesodermal derivates unlike ES cells from wild-type mice
