Localization of Pluripotency Markers

Hatched mouse blastocysts alkaline phosphatase activity and Oct-4 are markers for pluripotency, while TROMA-1 is a marker for trophectoderm specification.

  • a - red alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity.
  • b - green Oct-4 expression.
  • c - green TROMA-1 expression (cytokeratin 8, Endo A; cytokeratin-like filaments present in trophectoderm and endodermal cells)

blue - DAPI was used for nuclear DNA counterstaining. Scale = 30 μm.
