β¦ Synopsis
Arginine, cystine, histidine, leucine and threonine were needed for outgrowth of the mouse blastocyst in vitro. Omission of lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophane and tyrosine from the culture medium markedly reduced blastocyst outgrowth, h u t did not inhibit it completely; while omission of isoleucine and valine reduced the extent of outgrowth only slightly. Blastocysts kept for seven days i n a free-floating condition by omitting arginine and leucine from the medium, grew out when these amino acids were added. Such behavior may be analogous to delayed implantation in utero and suggests that the free amino acid content of the u t c p s could be a n important factor i n the control of implantation. Blastocysts delayed from implanting i n the uterus by ovariectomy were activated to outgrowth in a complete medium, but the intracellular changes associated with outgrowth occurred more slowly than i n undelayed blastocysts.

## Abstract Mouse blastocysts cultured under optimal conditions attach to the surface of the culture dish and subsequently give rise to outgrowths of trophoblast cells. The migration of trophoblast cells appears to be analogous to their behavior during the invasive phase of implantation in utero. I
## ABSTRACT The dependence of blastocyst development on the extracellular Na^+^/K^+^ ratio was investigated in an in vitro system. Hatching and outgrowth of mouse blastocysts was enhanced at Na^+^/K^+^ ratios between 3 and 10 compared to the ratio of about 25 typical for most culture media and seru
