Abstract
Leukemia inhibitory factor or LIF as an addition to culture media promotes the development of embryos to the implantation stage. Growth in the presence of LIF increases the percentage of embryos that reach the implantation stage than growth without LIF. LIF is isolatable from several mammalian species such as murine, sheep, pig, cow, horse or donkey.
