From: Identification and expression analysis of genes associated with bovine blastocyst formation
Results of the immunofluorescent experiments for KRT18, FN1 and MYL6. Confocal laser scanning images of in vitro produced bovine embryos labelled with primary mouse antibodies for KRT18, FN1 and MYL6 respectively in combination with FITC-labelled secondary goat-anti-mouse antibodies. The nuclei are stained with propidium iodide. Different stages of preimplantation embryo development were analysed (2–4 cell, 5–8 cell, M5: morula day 5 p.i., M7: morula day 7 p.i., B7: blastocyst day 7 p.i., B8: blastocyst day 8 p.i.).
