✦ Synopsis
Endogenous peroxidase activity was demonstrated in early mouse embryos by means of the diaminobenzidine staining reaction. This enzyme was observed in visceral endoderm on the seventh to eighth day of gestation in vivo, but was no longer detected on the ninth day of development. In cell layers developing from blastocysts or isolated inner cell masses cultured for 96-144 h (developmental stage equivalent to 6-7.5-day-old embryos), diaminobenzidine product was also observed in visceral endodermal cells. Most of the endogenous peroxidase was localized inside or close to the numerous apical vacuoles in the endoderm. Ectoderm, mesoderm, ectoplacental cone, and trophoblast cells did not contain endogenous peroxidase.

Mouse embryos of many strains are blocked in development at the two-cell stage when placed in culture at the one-cell stage. If, however, they are placed in culture at the two-cell stage, they develop to blastocysts at a high rate. We investigated the transcriptional and translational systems in blo
