Evaluation of the technique of immunosurgery for the isolation of inner cell masses from mouse blastocysts.
Inner cell masses (ICMs) immunosurgically-isolated from 31/2-day mouse blastocysts were examined for trophoblast cell contamination and developmental capacity. Blastocysts were preincubated in rabbit anti-mouse antiserum, washed thoroughly and then incubated in complement. The ICMs were then easily dissected by drawing through a fine pipette. Various experiments confirmed that the trophectoderm...
متن کاملMosaicism in the inner cell mass of human blastocysts.
Although mosaicism was shown to be a normal feature in cleaving embryos, its consequences for the late preimplantation stages are unknown. We performed blastocyst immunosurgery, followed by fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH), to determine the number of cells and degree of mosaicism in the inner cell mass (ICM) of human blastocysts. Of 47 ICM samples analysed, 20 had aneuploid cells, and t...
متن کاملCompletely ES Cell-Derived Mice Produced by Tetraploid Complementation Using Inner Cell Mass (ICM) Deficient Blastocysts
Tetraploid complementation is often used to produce mice from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by injection of diploid (2n) ESCs into tetraploid (4n) blastocysts (ESC-derived mice). This method has also been adapted to mouse cloning and the derivation of mice from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of the tetraploid complementation remains largely unclear. Whe...
متن کاملThe development of trophoblast in vitro from blastocysts containing varying amounts of inner cell mass.
When intact mouse blastocysts are cultured in vitro in medium supplemented with foetal calf serum, trophoblast cells proliferate and undergo giant cell transformation such as occurs in vivo. If the amount of inner cell mass in the blastocyst is decreased by culture with [3H]-thymidine then giant cell transformation occurs normally but proliferation is reduced. In the absence of inner cell mass ...
متن کاملCell Fate Specification Based on Tristability in the Inner Cell Mass of Mouse Blastocysts.
During development, interactions between transcription factors control the specification of different cell fates. The regulatory networks of genetic interactions often exhibit multiple stable steady states; such multistability provides a common dynamical basis for differentiation. During early murine embryogenesis, cells from the inner cell mass (ICM) can be specified in epiblast (Epi) or primi...
