a, c, e, Immunofluorescence analysis of molecular markers of mesoderm (muscle actin, a), primitive endoderm (
-feto protein, c) and ectoderm (
III tubulin, e). g, Representative chromosome spreads of two single-blastomere-derived mES cell lines. b, Teratomas section, stained with haematoxylin and eosin. bn, bone (mesoderm); nt, neural tissue (ectoderm); cre and insert, ciliated respiratory epithelium (endoderm). d, f, h, 11.5 d.p.c. chimaeric embryos (d, f) and chimaeric pups (h) produced from three mES cell lines; arrow in f shows the extraembryonic mesoderm-derived placental labyrinth, also chimaeric. Scale bars: a, c, 100
m; e, 200
m; d, 10 mm; f, 2 mm.
