摘要
In order to investigate the biological function of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PLC) we generated mutant mice by gene targeting. Homozygous inactivation of PLC beta(3) is lethal at embryonic day 2.5. These mutants show poor embryonic organization as well as reduced numbers of cells, Identical phenotypes were recorded in homozygous mutants generated from two independently targeted embryonic stem cell clones. Heterozygous mutant mice, however, are viable and fertile for at least two generations. We also showed that mouse PLC beta(3) is expressed in unfertilized eggs, 3-cell and egg cylinder stages of embryos. In conclusion, these results indicate that PLC beta(3) expression is essential for early mouse embryonic development. (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
