Examination of ES cell nuclei after transfer into enucleated oocytes, 6 h after oocyte activation by Sr2+

ES cells* No. of oocytes examined No. (%) of incoming nuclei transformed to one or more pseudo-pronuclei (pp) with or without extrusion of a pseudo-second polar body (ppb)
Not transformed 1pp and ppb 1pp 2pp 3pp

Reconstructed oocytes were activated in the presence (small cells) or absence (large cells) of cytochalasin B as described in Materials and Methods. Cell sizes are as for Table 1
