Abstract
Experiments were conducted to detect interferon-tau in bovine in vitro-derived blastocysts by transmission electron (TEM) and confocal microscopy. TEM showed the presence of IFN-tau in the cytoplasm and the nuclei of expanded blastocysts. Confocal microscopy similarly confirmed the presence of IFN-tau in the trophectoderm of blastocysts. The distribution of IFN-tau appeared variable with some cells showing strong labeling while others appeared to be devoid of the protein.
