mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: on an inbred C57BL/6 background mice die at E16.5, unlike mice on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd and C57BL/6 background that display postnatal lethality
|
immune system
• dendritic cells spuriously and spontaneously activate in culture
|
• when hematopoietic progenitor cells are transferred into lethally irradiated Rag1tm1Mom mice, the mice develop a spontaneous lethal inflammation
|
liver/biliary system
• abundant apoptosis is detected in the liver at E16.5
• however, the hematopoietic progenitor compartment of the fetal liver is relatively unaffected
|
cellular
• abundant apoptosis is detected in the liver at E16.5
