Abstract excerpt
Gene products present in mouse oocytes direct development until the two-cell stage and may be important in later development. Here, we demonstrate that expression of a specific maternal protein can be disrupted in mouse oocytes using transgenic antisense RNA technology. An oocyte-specific promoter (mZP3) was utilized to express antisense RNA directed against maternal mRNA encoding tissue-type plasminogen...
