Trisomy 1 in an eight cell human pre-embryo.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high incidence of chromosome abnormalities in clinically recognised pregnancies is well documented, but experience of these problems at the time of conception is extremely limited. Using donated oocytes from women seeking surgical sterilisation, we have established reliable cytogenetic techniques for chromosome analysis of human pre-embryos. These have resulted in the first report of trisomy 1. The pre-embryo showed no other obvious abnormality in relation to follicular characteristics, embryo morphology, and cleavage kinetics. The usefulness of such data in explaining the high incidence of occult human pregnancy loss and the current poor success following embryo replacement is emphasised.

Purpose: To determine the effects of different doses of addition of exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) on development of pre-implantation mouse embryo. Materials and Methods: Mouse zygotes, two cell, 8 cell any morulae were collected from superovulated NMRI mice 24, 48, 64 and 80 hrs after hCG injection, respectively. The obtained embryos were cultured on medium alone, medium with 1, 4 an...

Chromosomes from nine morphologically transformed (MT) cell lines (designated MT14 to MT22) of Golden hamster embryo cells induced by X-rays and from tumor-derived cell lines (MT14T to MT22T), obtained after injection of MT cells, were analyzed by the Giemsa banding method. MT cell lines showed a variety of numerical abnormalities. All of the MT cell lines involved trisomy of chromosomes 11 (80...

متن کاملThe Effect of Nitric Oxide on Mouse Pre-Implantation Embryo Development and Apoptosis
Clinical studies have shown that in pathological conditions such as endometriosis and reproductive tract infection (male and female) there is an activation status of macrophages that produce large quantities of nitric oxide (NO) in addition to other effector molecules. Large amounts of NO may have embryotoxic roles and produce infertility. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of diffe...
متن کاملEthical Issues in Stem Cell Transplantation
There is great interest worldwide in discovering and developing a permanent source of tissues which would be capable of generating any cell type and which would avoid the problem of transplant rejection. Stem cells are cells that can specialize into the many different cells found in the human body. The ethical objections concerning stem cells have focused primarily on their source. Human embry...
