AB  - Preimplantation diagnosis and embryo sexing offer great possibilities in the 
      prevention of human diseases and in the field of animal production. These 
      techniques involve blastomere isolation. Isolated blastomeres can grow in culture 
      and develop as whole embryos. In this paper we describe, at the scanning electron 
      microscope level, the characteristics of the plasma membrane surface of isolated 
      blastomeres obtained from mouse embryos at the two-cell stage and of embryos 
      grown to the 2/4- and 4/8-cell stages and compare them to control embryos grown 
      in vitro. According to our results the in vitro manipulation of these embryos 
      does not affect the surface characteristics of the plasma membrane in the early 
      cleavage stages.
