Preimplantation mouse embryos cultured in mouse, rat and human sera: differentiation and sister chromatid exchange.
Development of 4-cell and of 8-cell mouse embryos and of morulae and blastocysts is inhibited in vitro by mouse serum but not by rat or human sera which also do not influence sister chromatid exchange in cultured morulae and blastocysts.
