mortality/aging
• mice die between E3.5 and E7.5
|
embryo
• in culture, the inner cell mass fails to expand unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at E6.5, embryos are highly abnormal and do not develop the three germ layers, amnion, chorion, and allantois unlike wild-type mice
|
• at E7.5, embryos lack typical epithelial cells of the epiblasts unlike in wild-type mice
|
• by 7 days in culture, inner cell mass of most embryos is lost unlike wild-type cells
