Six-day to 12-day mouse embryos were dissected and radiolabelled by culture in the presence of [3H]fucose. The radiolabelled embryos were extensively digested with Pronase.The resulting glycopeptides were analysed by Sephadex G-50 column chromatography. Glycopeptides from 6-day-old embryos were separated into two main peaks: one eluted near the excluded volume, the other in a well-retarded position. This elution profile was similar to that observed with glycopeptides prepared from embryonal carcinoma cells. The relative amount of the high-molecular-weight glycopeptides decreased during embryonic development and particularly around day 9. Glycopeptide elution profiles from 10-day embryos, or isolated organs of 12-day embryos, were indistinguishable from those obtained from differentiated teratocarcinoma-derived or adult cells. At least 30% of the large molecular weight glycopeptides appear to be located at the cell surface.

Post Implantation

The fate of F9, a surface antigen common to embryonal carcinoma cells and cleavage embryos, as well as to male germ line cells has been studied in post-implantation mouse embryos. The antigen is readily detected on the surface of 7-day and 8-day, but not on 9-day embryonic cells, using anti-F9 serum absorption experiments and indirect immunofluorescence staining. In addition, it is shown that an anti-F9 serum absorbed with 8-day (but not with 9-day) embryonic cells does not react with cleavage embryos (morulae). It is concluded that the antigenic determinants, which are recognized on the surface of morulae by the anti-F9 serum, persist until day 8 of embryogenesis, but are not detected on day 9, either due to their absence, masking or quantitative reduction.

Developmental Potential

Embryonal carcinoma cells were aggregated with cleavage stage mouse embryos, cultured briefly, and transferred as morulae to the uteri of pseudopregnant females. When midgestation foetuses were examined, many were morphologically abnormal. The severity of this abnormal development was correlated with the extent of contribution by embryonal carcinoma cells to the foetuses as indicated by GPI (glucose phosphate isomerase) analysis. This was true for all three of the cell lines studied, NG-2, PSA-1, and LT1-2D. The clear correlation between increasingly abnormal development and more extensive participation by the embryonal carcinoma cells was not observed in control experiments in which embryos of different stages of development were aggregated together. The data therefore suggest that the embryonal carcinoma cells studied here are unable to support normal development in the absence of a substantial number of host embryonic cells. It remains unclear whether this is a consequence of the karyotypic abnormalities of the cells tested, or whether it reflects a characteristic limitation in the ability of embryonal carcinoma cells to independently direct normal development. When aggregates were allowed to develop to term and the extent of chimaerism was examined in the live-born animals, it was found to be sporadic and limited. This is consistent with the results indicating that large contributions by embryonal carcinoma cells are not compatible with normal development at midgestation. The chimaerism observed in the live-born animals was comparable in both frequency and in tissue distribution to that generally obtained in other studies using either the aggregation or blastocyst injection techniques.
