Strain C57BL/6J-Ay/Ay embryos are developmentally retarded in utero at 90 hpc and are resorbed by 132 hpc. The Ay/Ay developmental delay previously observed in vitro has now been confirmed in vivo. Apparently Ay is involved in some aspect of cleavage stage metabolism.

โฆ Synopsis
When histologically examined in utero at 105 hours post coitum embryos from AY/a x AY[a matings contained a mean (-+ SE) of 122.7 -+ 6.5 nuclei per embryo; of these, 30.2 -+ 2.4 nuclei were in the inner cell mass (ICM) and 92.5 -+ 4.8 nuclei were within trophoblast cells. Embryos from d AY/a x 9 a/a matings contained a mean of 141.4 -+ 10.6 nuclei per embryo of which 41.7 -+ 4.5 nuclei were within the ICM and 99.7 + 6.9 nuclei were trophoblastic. ICM cell numbers were significantly different between genotypes (P < 0.05) suggesting that homozygous Ay allele expression selectively interferes with ICM versus trophoblast cell differentiation during preimplantation development.
