To investigate the possible occurrence of 4n\/2n mosaicism, tetraploid embryos were produced by electrofusion, a process which allows adjacent blastomeres at the 2-cell stage to fuse following exposure to electric field pulses. Embryos used for electrofusion were hemizygous for a transgene consisting of approximately 1000 copies of the mouse \u03b2-globin gene. After<jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>hybridization, one hybridization signal is expected per diploid genome. Tetraploid cells in 7\u00b75-, 8\u00b75-, 9\u00b75- and 10\u00b75-day-old conceptuses were distinguished from diploid cells by performing<jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>hybridization on histological sections. The frequency of nuclei with two hybridization signals in the \u2018hemizygous\u2019 tetraploid embryos was compared to diploid embryos which were either hemizygous or homozygous for the \u03b2-globin transgene. Comparison of the frequency of nuclei with two hybridization signals between tissues of \u2018hemizygous\u2019 tetraploid conceptuses and homozygous diploid conceptuses showed no significant difference, which implies that the tissues in the tetraploid conceptuses were uniformly tetraploid. No evidence was found to suggest that electrofusion results in 2n\/4n mosaicism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0016672300030937","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,17]],"date-time":"2009-09-17T07:28:04Z","timestamp":1253172484000},"page":"185-194","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Electrofusion
