mortality/aging
• homozygous mutant embryos undergo implantation but die and are resorbed by E7.5

embryo
• ex vivo, ICM-derived cells from mutant blastocysts undergo massive apoptosis between 3 and 6 days in culture
|
• ex vivo, trophoectoderm-derived cells from mutant blastocysts undergo massive apoptosis between 3 and 6 days in culture
|
• ex vivo, ICM- and trophectoderm-derived cells from mutant blastocysts fail to proliferate and develop into compact ES cell colonies after 6 days in culture
• no ES cell lines are obtained from homozygous mutant blastocysts
|
• homozygous mutant embryos display defective development between E5.5 and E7.5
|
• ex vivo, both ICM- and trophectoderm-derived cells from mutant blastocysts undergo growth arrest between 3 and 6 days in culture
|
• ex vivo, mutant blastocysts freshly isolated at E3.5 consist of a viable inner cell mass (ICM) but begin to degenerate after 2 days in culture
|
• ex vivo, mutant blastocysts freshly isolated at E3.5 consist of a viable trophectoderm but begin to degenerate after 2 days in culture
