Table 2.

Comparative Primary Colony Formation Rate Following Seeding of ICMs Obtained from Blastocysts Produced by In Vitro Fertilization, Parthenogenesis, and Hand-Made Cloning

Source	Maximum passage number	ICMs seeded (n)	Time taken for primary colony formation (days)	Primary colony formation rate (%)
IVF	78	86	8–12	52.44±2.55^a
Parthenogenesis	61	98	10–15	45.63±3.12^a
HMC	45	96	10–15	33.34±5.52^b

Values with different superscripts within the same column differ significantly (p<0.05).

ICM, inner cell mass; IVF, in vitro fertilization; HMC, hand-made cloning.
