Abstract
Intact and zona-free mouse preimplantation embryos were exposed to murine cytomegalovirus in vitro at various stages of development. The embryos developed normally to the blastocyst stage and there was no evidence of embryonic infection. Inoculation i.p. of female mice with this virus produced an acute generalized infection and embryonic development was retarded in vivo. The embryos themselves were not productively infected and they developed into apparently normal fetuses when transferred to uninfected mice.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
