Abstract excerpt
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a cytokine active in vitro on different target cells. It is detected in vivo during mouse gestation in both extraembryonic membranes and maternal tissues. Two isoforms have been described maintaining embryonic stem cells in culture in a pluripotent state. However, overexpression of their cDNAs in chimeric mouse embryos observed between 6.5 and 9.5 days postcoitus gave...
