mortality/aging
• at P0, 6% of pups are homozygous, less than the expected 25%
(J:108137)
• however, no gross morphological abnormalities or changes in expression of imprinted genes are detected
(J:108137)
• most mice die in utero due to defects in angiogenesis
(J:123635)
• however, one homozygous male survived and was used to create additional homozygous mice
(J:123635)
|
• between E8.5 and E13.5, fewer homozygotes are found, 17% versus the expected 25%

immune system
• mice infected with herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) produce higher titers than wild-type mice
|
• mice infected with lymphocytic choriomemingitis virus produce lower titers than in wild-type mice
|
• mice infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) produce higher titers than wild-type mice
• VSV titers in the brain are 100-fold greater than in wild-type mice

cardiovascular system
• most mice die in utero due to defects in angiogenesis
