mortality/aging
• although some mice are present at E10.5, no viable mice are found at E11.5

• in a colony forming assay, yolk sac cells from E8.5 embryos yield few colonies
• however, the proportion of erythroid colonies is the same as for wild-type cells (67%)
|
• the embryo proper lacks blood cells
|
