Table 2. The efficiency of ESC derivation for tetraploid blastocysts.

Embryos No. blastocysts No. ICM outgrowths (%) No. ESC lines derived (%)
2n 38 31(81.6) 30(78.9)
Type a (4n) 22 21(95.5) 17(77.3)
Type b (4n) 43 9(20.9)* 2(4.7)*

*χ2-test, P<0.01. All the embryos were produced by crossing B6D2F1 females with Oct4-EGFP males, embryos were recovered at the 2-cell stage (42–46h post hCG injection).
