Abstract: Purpose and Methods : By using mouse whole embryo culture technique , the in vit ro model of cyclophosphamide - induced teratogenicity was established. The cellular effects of cyclophosphamide on mouse embryos was evaluated by light microscopy and flow cytomet ry. Results and Conclusion : The result s suggested that the variation of cell cycle and the occurrence of apoptosis might be involved in cyclophosphamide - induced teratogenicity.

Key words: cyclophosphamide, whole embryo culture, cell cycle, apoptosis
