Figure 1: The
blastocyst is a hollow sphere made of approximately 150 cells and contains three distinct areas: the trophoblast, which is the surrounding outer layer that contains the trophoblast stem cells and later becomes the placenta, the blastocoel, which is a fluid - filled cavity within the
blastocyst, and the inner cell mass, also known as the embryoblast, which can become the embryo proper, or fetus, and is where human embryonic stem cells are
isolated from.

isolated from.
Like mESCs, hESCs are
isolated from early - stage embryos that are, specifically, in the late
blastocyst stage, about four or five days after fertilization.
For the analysis of gene expression in
blastocysts, total RNA was
isolated and purified from three pools of 10
blastocysts produced in vivo or in vitro (KSOM supplemented with 10 % FCS or in the presence of 1 g / L BSA) using the RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen)[18].
Cells with normal karyotype were injected into
blastocysts isolated from C57BL / 6 mice.
