From: Asynchronous division at 4–8-cell stage of preimplantation embryos affects live birth through ICM/TE differentiation

Figure 6

Relationships between synchrony and number of cells of ICM/TE. (a) Fluorescence images of H2B-mCherry-expressing, CDX immunostained, and OCT3/4 immunostained embryos. Bar = 100 µm For this analysis, 60 mouse zygotes (we used 15 female and three male mice) were observed. (b) Correlation between third CV and number of TE. (c) Correlation between third CV and number of ICM. (d) Correlation between third CV and TE/ICM ratio. (e) Correlation between third CV and total number of cells (TE + ICM).
