mortality/aging
• mice die between E4.5 and E7.5
|
embryo
• at E4.5, the inner cell mass exhibits an increase in apoptosis compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mice do not develop primitive endoderm
• however, primitive endoderm will form when cells are used to generate a chimeric embryo
|
• at E4.5, the number of inner cell mass cells is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
