Despite the ubiquitous expression of ADAM9, these knockout mice appear to develop normally, are viable and fertile, and have no major pathological phenotypes compared to wild-type mice.
A word that describes a person, situation or phrase that may be interpreted as mugging off or at least laying the groundwork for a mugging off of another person in the house, normally the nearest viable sexual partner.
However, animals heat shocked at 27°C did not die, developed normally and remained viable and fertile (data not shown).
Mice deficient in Hspb5 (αB-crystallin) develop normally and are viable [57]; however, these mice develop a skeleton muscle myopathy late in life.
Contrary to dbh null mice (Thomas et al., 1995), zebrafish dbh mutants develop normally and are viable.
Propidium iodide is a membrane impermeant nucleic acid stain that binds the DNA of dead cells and is normally excluded from viable cells (false colored red).
MBD2-null mice developed normally and remained viable and fertile, although MBD2-null mothers failed to nurture their pups properly (Hendrich et al. 2001).
Although, as noted above, MS-minus animals grew normally to become viable adults, abnormal-looking proximal gonads were often observed, especially in older adult hermaphrodites.
The hypertrophic response that normally occurs in viable myocardium remote to the infarct was noticeably absent in epicardial cardiomyocytes and cardiac dysfunction worsened in hyperglycemic EphA2-R-M hearts post-MI.
