mortality/aging
• died between E3.5 and E5.5, shortly after implantation
|
embryo
• inner cell mass cells isolated from homozygous embryos underwent apoptosis during 5-day culture
|
• inner cell mass cells isolated from homozygous embryos did not proliferate during 5-day culture
|
• a distinguishable inner cell mass-like structure was not observed when E3.5 embryos were cultured for 5 days, although the trophectoderm differentiated into giant cells
