Mouse embryos homozygous for a null allele of Gpi1 which encodes the glycolytic enzyme glucose phosphate isomerase fail to complete gastrulation and die at about embryonic day 7.5, but mutant cells can survive in fetal chimaeras in which they are mixed with wild-type cells. An adult female mouse chimaera, composed of wild-type cells and homozygous Gpi1(-/-) null mutant cells, was produced to test whether the...
