Immunofluorescence analysis of gamma-H2A.X in TLR2 agonist treated bovine Day 7 blastocysts. (a) Representative images of DNA damage in embryos. Staining for gamma-H2A.X (green) and DNA (blue). Scale bar = 50 μm. (b) (Left) Relative fluorescence intensity of gamma-H2A.X positive signals after TLR2 agonist treatment. (Right) Relative fluorescence intensity of gamma-H2A.X activity at different stages: BL, ExB, and HB. The asterisk denotes a significant variance between the ‘control (n = 86)’ and ‘TLR2 agonist (n = 108)’ groups. Data show mean ± S.E.M (n = 5), *P < 0.05.
