Abstract
The aim in developing this approach to the study of implantation has been to establish a method which will permit the investigation of the process extracorporeally, thus providing conditions that are more readily controllable than those obtainable in an experimental animal. Shaffer's method of organ culture has been adapted to the needs of the present investigation and it has been found that somewhat more than half of the rabbit blastocysts, explanted on strips of endometrium and incubated on them as combined explants, became implanted within 48 to 72 h.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
