Abstract excerpt
A gene has been described, Ped (Preimplantation embryo development), that influences the rate of cleavage of preimplantation mouse embryos. Previous studies of linkage of Ped gene phenotype (fast or slow embryo development) and H-2 haplotype (H-2b or H-2k) in backcross embryos from the C57BL/10Sn and B10.BR congenic strains have shown that the Ped gene is located in the H-2 complex, the major histocompatibility...
