Fig 2. Possible CT positions within the nuclei of bovine embryos.

Fig 2

(A) CT12 (red) with the CDX2 locus (green) present an example of peripheral location, (B) CT23 (red) with the OCT4 locus (green) indicate central to intermediate location from 8–16 cell stage onwards. (C) presents possible radial distribution of CTs within the 3D nuclear space, (D) CT5 (red) with the NANOG locus (green) show an example of intermediate location in 8–16, morula and ICM. Confocal sections were taken every 0.5μm (zygotes to 8–16 cell stage) and every 0.4μm for morulae and blastocysts. DAPI stains the chromatin.
