Gene activity and cleavage arrest in human pre-embryos
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
There is a high rate of spontaneous cleavage arrest around the four- to eight-cell stage of human development in vitro. Since this coincides with the time of activation of the embryonic genome it has been suggested that cleavage arrest may occur as a consequence of failure of gene activation. Gene expression in human pre-embryos is associated with an alpha-amanitin sensitive, qualitative change in protein...
