hematopoietic system
• at E12.5, a significant number of spleen cells undergo apoptosis
|
• a spleen anlage is present at E11.5 but undergoes rapid and complete resorption between E12.5 and E13.5
|
absent spleen
(
J:28700
)
• homozygotes are born without a spleen
• however, homozygous mutant mice can survive to birth, develop normally, and are fertile
