Abstract

Escape from pre-implantation lethality by homozygousyellow embryos depends on differentiation of trophoblastic cells. The evidence presented herein suggests that progesterone stimulated differentiation of trophoblastic giant cells in some homozygousyellow blastocysts and thereby increased the percentage ofA y/Ay “escaper” embryos.
