✦ Synopsis
Abstract
H‐2 antigens were detected on 8‐cell mouse embryos of the b, k, and d haplotypes, but not on 8‐cell embryos of the a haplotype. the technique used for detection of H‐2 antigens on the embryos was a highly sensitive, automated, complement‐dependent cytotoxicity assay, based on the principle that live embryos will incorporate ^3^H‐thymidine into DNA, but embryos killed with antiserum and complement will not. The amount of H‐2 present on 8‐cell embryos is apparently less than that present on blastocysts. A possible function of H‐2 antigens in development is proposed.

Cell death was analyzed in neurulating mouse embryos after in vivo doses of 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) that produce anterior neural tube defects. Characterization of 2-ME-induced cell death was performed by evaluating: (1) vital fluorochrome staining in whole embryos applying confocal laser scanning mi
