The changes in primordial germ cell (PGC) populations were compared in embryos of two inbred strains of mice-KE and CBA/Kw on 11, 12, 13 and 14 day of foetal life. The number of PGCs did not differ in 11-day embryos of both strains. In 12-day CBA/Kw embryos the proliferation rate of PGCs was higher and the number of PGC was significantly higher than in 12-day KE embryos. However, on subsequent days the PGC proliferation rate decreased in CBA/Kw but rapidly increased in KE embryos, leading to significantly higher number of PGCs in 14-day KE embryos. These differences in proliferation rate between KE and CBA/Kw PGCs can be regarded as the reason of strong selection against CBA/Kw derived gametes observed in KE<-->CBA aggregation chimaeras.
在胎儿期第11、12、13和14天,对两种近交系小鼠(KE和CBA/Kw)胚胎中的原始生殖细胞(PGC)群体变化进行了比较。两种品系11天胚胎中的PGC数量没有差异。在12天的CBA/Kw胚胎中,PGC的增殖率较高,且PGC数量显著高于12天的KE胚胎。然而,在随后的几天里,CBA/Kw胚胎中PGC的增殖率下降,而KE胚胎中PGC的增殖率迅速上升,导致14天的KE胚胎中PGC数量显著增加。KE和CBA/Kw PGCs增殖率的这些差异可被视为在KE<-->CBA聚集嵌合体中观察到的对CBA/Kw来源配子进行强烈选择 的原因。
