reproductive system

• decidualization defect can be partially rescued by intrauterine injection of recombinant leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) prior to the initiation of the decidual response
• uteri of 8-wk-old females show a severe defect in endometrial gland development

• on day 5.5 of pregnancy, embryos fail to exhibit invasion into the uterine stroma through the epithelium

• uterus is unable to support embryo invasion and undergo an experimentally induced decidual response with exogenous steroid hormones
• when mated to wild-type males for a period of 6 months, females exhibit severe subfertility, with significantly fewer litters, pups per litter and total pups born relative to control females
• females produce significantly fewer pups per litter than control females
