Embryo groups | Oocytes used | mean% ± SEM (no. of embryos) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fusion | Cleavage | Blastocyst | ||
tMSC | 217 | 94.0 ± 1.5 (204) | 77.5 ± 1.8 (168) | 13.8 ± 0.4 (30) |
eMSC | 204 | 94.7 ± 1.2 (193) | 78.1 ± 1.0 (159) | 15.7 ± 0.3 (32)* |

Embryo groups: tMSC, embryos cloned with telomerase reverse trancriptase-transfected MSCs; sMSC, embryos cloned with sham-transfected MSCs; eMSC, embryos cloned with early passage MSCs. Asterisk indicates significant difference (
