mortality/aging
• although present in Mendelian ratios at E17.5, fewer than expected mice are born
|
• some mice die within the first 24 hours after birth
|
• some mice die within the first month after birth
|
respiratory system
• slightly at E18.5
|
• reduced air spaces at E18.5
|
• impaired formation with thickened alveolar walls and reduced air spaces at E18.5
• however, mice exhibit normal alveolar walls and air space at E14.5 and E16.5 and maturation of alveolar epithelial type II cells
|
• due to impaired differentiation
|
• in most newborn mice
• however, some mice exhibit partially inflated lungs
|
• at birth in some mice
|
growth/size/body
• in surviving mice
|
• at P21 and P30
|
homeostasis/metabolism
integument
• despite backcross to C57BL/6 (non-agouti) 5 times, mice exhibit a white-bellied agouti coat color possibly due to tight linkage (6cM) with Agouti from the 129P2/OlaHsd ES cells
|
pigmentation
• despite backcross to C57BL/6 (non-agouti) 5 times, mice exhibit a white-bellied agouti coat color possibly due to tight linkage (6cM) with Agouti from the 129P2/OlaHsd ES cells
