mortality/aging
• at E10.5, 2 out of 10 double mutants are found dead and 2 are noticeably smaller; also, 9 out of 19 double mutants die at E11.5, that is 2 days earlier than mice homozygous for Rb1tm1Tyj alone
• by E12.5, 7 out of 8 double mutant embryos are either dead or in various stages of resorption
|
cellular
• at E11.5, double mutant embryos exhibit a significantly high frequency of pyknotic nuclei (i.e. apoptosis) in the CNS; in contrast, single Rb1tm1Tyj homozygotes show extensive CNS apoptosis at later stage (E13.5)
• at E12.5 (but not E11.5), a viable double mutant (1 out of 8) exhibits abnormally high levels of apoptosis in the liver and CNS; in contrast, single Rb1tm1Tyj homozygotes show extensive liver apoptosis at later stage
|
embryo
• at E11.5, viable double mutant embryos exhibit disorganization of the endothelial linings of yolk sac vessels
|
• at E11.5 days, 2 out of 19 double mutant embryos are significantly smaller than control embryos

pale yolk sac
(
J:34058
)
• at E11.5, viable double mutant embryos show a significant reduction of erythrocytes in the yolk sac blood vessels
|
growth/size/body
• at E11.5 days, 2 out of 19 double mutant embryos are significantly smaller than control embryos

• at E12.5, double mutant embryos show normal myogenic commitment and differentiation

cardiovascular system
• at E11.5, viable double mutant embryos exhibit disorganization of the endothelial linings of yolk sac vessels
