Abstract
Mouse blastocysts were cultured in the presence of zinc and/or cupric chloride at various concentrations. Cupric ions were superior to Zn++ at inhibiting hatching of blastocysts from their zona pellucida and formation of trophoblastic outgrowths. Protein in the medium protected embryos from the toxic effects of zinc and copper.
