Preimplantation mouse embryos were examined for intercellular permeability to molecules of different molecular weights. Using immunosurgery followed by immunofluorescence, none of the eight-cell embryos, approximately 10% of the early morulae, 50% of the late morulae, and 90% of the early blastocysts were found to block nonspecific anti-mouse thymocyte serum from diffusing into intercellular spaces. Diffusion of horseradish peroxidase and microperoxidase into intercellular spaces of viable embryos was also impeded by some morulae and by all early blastocysts maintained on ice. Peroxidase tracers found within the blastocoel cavity of some early blastocysts examined at 37°C appear to be a result of pinocytosis and transcellular movement. Intercellular diffusion of lanthanum into glutaraldehyde-fixed embryos was impeded only by early blastocysts. These results suggest that a permeability seal is established between external cells of the early mouse embryo prior to blastocoel formation. In addition, freeze-fracture electron microscopy revealed a correlated change in zonula occludens junction organization, indicating that formation of an intercellular permeability barrier and subsequent blastocoel formation may depend upon completion of assembly of these junctions.
