All-or-none craniorachischisis in Loop-tail mutant mouse chimeras.

Abstract excerpt

Mouse embryos homozygous for the mutant gene Loop-tail (Lp) are characterized by craniorachischisis, an open neural tube extending from the midbrain to the tail. In the present study, experimental chimeric mice containing mixtures of genetically mutant (from Lp/+ x Lp/+ matings) and genetically normal cells were produced. Our aim was to determine whether a 'rescue,' phenotypic gradient, or intermediate expression...
