reproductive system
• homozygous mice mated to homozygous mice produce embryos that die prior to E8.5
• homozygous mice mated to homozygous mice produce embryos that when extracted at E2.5 and cultured develop slower than wild-type mice
• however, female mice exhibit normal angiogenic-related processes during pregnancy and both female and male mice exhibit expected litter survival when mated to wild-type mice or Ate1tm1Akas homozygotes
|
• 2 pups per litter comapred to 7 pups per litter for Ate1tm2.1Akas Tg(Tek-cre)12Flv heterozygotes
