Epithelial cadherin distribution in abnormal human pre-implantation embryos
25 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: E(epithelial)-cadherin is a vital cell adhesion protein that plays a critical role in morphogenesis. Previous studies of E-cadherin distribution in human embryos have produced equivocal results. METHODS: Immunocytochemistry in conjunction with laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to detect E-cadherin in 97 human cleavage stage embryos and 35 blastocysts from normal and abnormal fertilization....
