mortality/aging
• no viable homozygotes are produced from heterozygous intercrosses; homozygous phenotype is indistinguishable from Mirn17-92tm1.3Tyj homozygotes
|
embryo
• at E13.5, mutants can be distinguished by their smaller size
|
• by E18.5, mutant weights are 60% of wild-type littermates
|
growth/size/body
• at E13.5, mutants can be distinguished by their smaller size
|
• by E18.5, mutant weights are 60% of wild-type littermates
|
cardiovascular system
respiratory system
• E18.5-P0 animals have severely hypoplastic lungs but histological examination does not reveal any branching defect or other developmental abnormalities
|
hematopoietic system
• mutant fetal livers display increased apoptosis specific to the B cell compartment without higher levels in non-B cells
• higher levels of apoptosis are not observed in other organs
|
• lethally irradiated mice transplanted with E14.5 mutant liver cells are found to have reduced percentages of pre-B cells and cells of later stages
|
• fetal livers (E18.5) show a greatly reduced percentage and absolute number of pre-B cells
|
immune system
