reproductive system
|
• on E7.5, the mesometrial decidual compartment is almost devoid of perforin-positive NK cells, despite normal uterine NK precursor cell homing
• notably, in vitro, mutant splenic NK precursor cells show a normal response to IL-15
|
|
• on E7.5, the number of antimesometrial decidual cells expressing markers of decidual cell differentiation are reduced
• on E7.5, homozygotes exhibit smaller implantation sites with disorganized vascular patterns
|
|
• female homozygotes are infertile as a result of decidual defects
|
embryo
• female homozygotes show altered distribution and reduced numbers of trophoblast cells at the implantation sites
|
|
• on E7.5, the mesometrial decidual compartment is almost devoid of perforin-positive NK cells, despite normal uterine NK precursor cell homing
• notably, in vitro, mutant splenic NK precursor cells show a normal response to IL-15
|
• female homozygotes exhibit defects in early placental development
|
|
• on E7.5, the number of antimesometrial decidual cells expressing markers of decidual cell differentiation are reduced
• on E7.5, homozygotes exhibit smaller implantation sites with disorganized vascular patterns

hematopoietic system
|
• on E7.5, the mesometrial decidual compartment is almost devoid of perforin-positive NK cells, despite normal uterine NK precursor cell homing
• notably, in vitro, mutant splenic NK precursor cells show a normal response to IL-15
|
• female homozygotes show abnormal decidual-specific differentiation of NK cells at the maternal-fetal interface
|
cardiovascular system
• on E7.5, female homozygotes display disorganized decidual vascularization at the implantation sites
