Summary

Automatic Translation

We describe an in vitro assay to model chorioallantoic attachment, the first step in placenta formation. The protocol demonstrates the dissection and explant culture of murine allantoides on immobilized α4β1 integrin. Allantois attachment is evaluated microscopically at pre-determined time points.
