We have generated mouse lines in which the RXR beta gene was disrupted by homologous recombination. Approximately 50% of the RXR beta homozygous mutants died before or at birth, but those that survived appeared normal except that the males were sterile, owing to oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia. Failure of spermatid release occurred within the germinal epithelium, and the epididymis contained very few spermatozoa...
