| Abstract | Diploid parthenogenetically activated oocytes were obtained after gonadotropin-induced ovulation of virgin females of the LT/Sv (LT) inbred mouse strain. These oocytes cleave spontaneously and develop into blastocysts which implant in the uterus but die within a few days. We examined the developmental potential of nuclei from parthenogenetic embryos after transplantation into fertilized eggs. The inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) of LT parthenogenetic blastocysts were mechanically isolated and dissociated into single cells. Their nuclei were then injected into fertilized C57BL/6J eggs from which the male and female pronuclei were removed. Of 94 eggs injected with TE cell nuclei, 4 embryos developed to the morula stage; all 4 showed abnormalities and subsequently became arrested in development. Enzyme analysis of these embryos revealed that TE cell nuclei could neither independently initiate or support preimplantation development. However, of 54 eggs injected with nuclei from ICM cells, 3 morulae and 3 blastocysts developed and enzyme analyses of them confirmed that the preimplantation development of 2 embryos was supported by transplanted parthenogenetic nuclei. In another experimental series, 3 morulae and 4 blastocysts developed from 107 eggs injected with ICM nuclei and were transferred to uteri of foster mothers to ascertain their postimplantation development. Four female offspring were born and all of them showed a diploid karyotype and expressed enzyme activity of only the LT genotype. One female proved to be fertile and transmitted the parthenogenetic genome to the next generation. These results demonstrate that the nucleus from LT parthenogenetic blastocysts contains a complete genome necessary to support development of an adult mouse. Therefore, the early postimplantation death of parthenogenetic embryos does not seem to be related to an aberrant genotype but rather to undefined mechanisms associated with fertilization and normal morphogenetic processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
