• early blastocysts are present in approximate Mendelian ratios at E3.5 (33% versus expected 25%, n=24); no homozygous embryos are recovered at E7.5
• however, excess resorption sites suggest that embryos elicit a decidual response in vivo
|
reproductive system
• in vitro outgrowth assays show that blastocysts fail to hatch and do not form outgrowths after 3 days in culture
