Integrins and adhesion mlecules: Cell adhesion molecules on the oocyte and preimplantation human embryo
1 Jun 1995
Abstract excerpt
The presence of cell adhesion molecules on human oocytes, early embryos, and pre-hatched blastocysts was examined by indirect immunofluorescence and compared to the distribution found on first trimester villous placenta with the same antibodies. Six integrin subunits (alpha 3, alpha V, beta 1, beta 3, beta 4, beta 5) were observed consistently throughout preimplantation development. Evidence was also obtained for...
