Description:
Two female chimeric mice have been produced by aggregates of three genetically marked eight-cell embryos. All three embryonic genotypes are clearly expressed in the pigment pattern of the adults. These hexaparental mice together with their littermates demonstrate that, in the 64-celled blastocyst, at least three cells, and probably only three, are the source of all adult tissues.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Markert, C L -- Petters, R M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Oct 6;202(4363):56-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/694518" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
