phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• deaths begin at around 7 months
• average life span is 16.6 months
• only one quarter of expected mice are present at weaning (J:65128)
• many mice born alive fail to thrive and die by 48 hours (J:75765)

cellular
• variation in proliferation and growth rates are observed between different mouse embryonic fibroblast preparations due to the genetic background
• using a [3H]thymidine-incorporation assay after exposure to serum following serum starvation, cell cycle progression in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) is slower than in wild-type MEFs
• using a BrdU-incorporation assay, DNA synthesis in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) is slowed and its rate of occurrence is reduced relative to in wild-type MEFs
• although variation in proliferation rates are observed between different mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) preparations due to the genetic background, doubling time of MEFs is twice as long as that of MEFs from wild-type embryos

growth/size/body
• surviving mice fail to gain weight at the same rate as littermates
• significantly decreased weight at E18.5

respiratory system
• bilateral pleural effusions
• macrophage in alveolar spaces
• dyspnea in the last few days of life

homeostasis/metabolism
• clot formation specific to the heart
• no pulmonary emboli
• sometimes in the left ventricle
• massive thrombi in the left atria
• bilateral pleural effusions

cardiovascular system
• cause of death in about 85% of mice

immune system
• macrophage in alveolar spaces

integument
• in the last month or two of life
