The temporal coordination of histone and DNA synthesis in mouse eggs and preimplantation embryos were examined. In unfertilized mouse eggs arrested at metaphase 11, histone synthesis was observed, but at lower rates than previously reported for fertilized zygotes. Cytosine arabinoside, an inhibitor
## Abstract The optimal oxygen tension for development of preimplantation mouse embryos to the blastocyst stage in vitro was found to be between 2.5% and 5%. Oneβ and twoβcell embryos had a more sharply defined range of oxygen tension capable of supporting development than 8βcell and morula stages.
To clarify the relationship of gap junction formation to phosphorylation of connexin43 (Cx43) in mouse preimplantation embryos, immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis were conducted. Immunofluorescence showed Cx43 positive spots first at the mid-eight-cell stage (6 hr postdivision to the eight
