mortality/aging
• mice that survive to weaning usually survive more than 6 months
• most surviving mice are males
• Background Sensitivity: most severe on a congenic background
|
behavior/neurological
• empty stomachs and intestinal tracts in mice that die perinatally - failure to nurse
|
• tendancy to clench toes and hold hind limbs against body when suspended by the tail
• behavior becomes more pronounced with age
|
• reduced
|
• rearing on the hind limbs significantly reduced
|
• reduced activity in an open field test
|
immune system
