A total of 145 rat and 168 mouse embryos were injected and transferred in 13 and 15 experiments, respectively. Included in the table are only those experiments in which labeled cells could be recovered in a structure of the intact conceptus, including visceral yolk sac (VYS) endoderm and parietal yolk sac (PYS) endoderm. (*) Abnormal embryo with a patch of fluorescent cells.
