Note: pre-compaction embryo
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS3: 4-cell stage embryo Present Diffuse 5D Staining is cytoplasmic, which is not indicative of functional gap junctions.

Specimen 5E: embryonic day 2.5 (more )
Note: compacting or compacted embryo
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS3: compacted morula Present Diffuse 5E Staining is cytoplasmic, which is not indicative of functional gap junctions.
