ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Deletion of Mcl-1 resulted in peri-implantation embryonic lethality in mouse (
  • mice conditional for Mcl-1 display a profound reduction in B and T lymphocytes when MCL-1 is removed, deletion of Mcl-1 during early lymphocyte differentiation increased apoptosis and arrested the development at pro-B-cell and double-negative T-cell stages (
  • deletion of Mcl-1 in cortical neurons of transgenic mice activates a robust autophagic response
