A paucity of structural integrity in cloned porcine blastocysts produced in vitro

The structural integrity of blastocyst stage embryos, consisting of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) cells, is a prerequisite for normal development after implantation in mammals. In this study, allocation of nuclear transfer (NT)-derived porcine blastocysts to the ICM and to the TE...

Zusammenfassung:The structural integrity of blastocyst stage embryos, consisting of the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) cells, is a prerequisite for normal development after implantation in mammals. In this study, allocation of nuclear transfer (NT)-derived porcine blastocysts to the ICM and to the TE cells was examined and compared with IVF- and in vivo-derived embryos. NT-derived embryos had a lower developmental competence to the blastocyst stage than IVF-derived embryos ( P
