Altered Expression of Pulmonary Epithelial Cell Markers in Fetal and Adult Mice Generated by in vitro Embryo Culture and Embryo Transfer.

Lung development is impaired in mice generated through transfer of in vitro-derived blastocysts. The main objective of the current study was to determine if the composition of epithelial cells in the fetal and adult lung tissue is altered in mice generated through transfer of in vitro-derived blastocysts. The study comprised two experimental (EGs) and two control (CGs) groups.
