Addition of Interleukin-6 to Mouse Embryo Culture Increases Blastocyst Cell Number and Influences the Inner Cell Mass to Trophectoderm Ratio
These data show that IL-6 improved mouse embryo development when cultured individually in complex media; however, an excess of IL-6 may be detrimental. Mice were housed in Optimice cages.
