mortality/aging
• most mice do not survive beyond E11.0

• without any indication of ventral morphology
• midbrain neural tube fails to close at E9.25
• at E10.0
• however, mice exhibit normal forebrain size and morphology at E9.0
• single thickened layer of surface ectoderm in the ventral forebrain and the nasal field has not separated by E10.0

embryo
• bilateral expression of normally unilateral genes is seen in the lateral plate mesoderm at E8.5
• fused ventral lips at E8.25
• without any indication of ventral morphology
• midbrain neural tube fails to close at E9.25
• immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical studies suggest AP axis has been specified, and the primitive streak has been induced, but fails to elongate

• left-right asymmetry

respiratory system

taste/olfaction

vision/eye

mortality/aging
• unable to identify any embryos after E9.5

growth/size/body
• significantly smaller at E7.5 and E8.5

embryo
• at E7.5 formation of the germ layers appears impaired
• formation or morphogenesis of germ layers is impaired resulting in an endodermal layer surrounding a disorganized mass of cells
• lack of epithelial morphology, without a transition to mesodermal fate based upon E-cadherin or N-cadherin expression
• at 6.5 rounder appearance of the embyros suggests decreased elongation of the proximodistal axis
• unable to identify a clear AP axis, even at 8.5 dpc
• at E6.5 cells within the epiblast are less well organized
• at E7.5 and later cells of the epiblast fail to display the characteristic columnar epithelial morphology and the embryo has not formed a distinct embryonic cavity
• at E7.5 proliferation rate is decreased in the epiblast
• immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical studies suggest AP axis has been specified, and the primitive streak has been induced, but fails to elongate

cellular
• at E7.5 proliferation rate is decreased in the epiblast
