Postimplantation Mammalian Embryos

In recent years, the quest for greater understanding of postimplantation mammalian development has led research workers to devise techniques which overcome the problems of inaccessibility posed by embryos in the uterus, and to adapt analytic techniques such as “in situ” hybridization and antibody labelling to the unique requirements of mammalian embryonic material. This book provides detailed practical instruction in these methods and additionally provides an illustrated account of the morphological stages of postimplantation development. Research workers in mammalian embryology will find this book valuable both as a laboratory manual and as a reference work. It also complements “Mammalian Development: A Practical Approach” which covers pre-implantation techniques.
