Summary

The effect of a human placental hormone (UTPH) and UTPH-antiserum upon development of preimplantation mouse embryos was studied in vitro. UTPH at a concentration of 90 ug/ml had a tendency to increase the mean number of blastomeres pre embryo, and increased significantly (P < 0.01) upon the cleavage rate. These data suggest an influence of the UT UTPH upon the early development of the embryo in mammals.
