Virus like particles in the intercellular space

TEM of virus like particles (VLP) in the intercellular space (ICS) between inner cell mass (embryoblast) cells of a stage 3 embryo in vitro, 145-170 hours post-insemination (original magnification x18,000). The cytoplasm of the cells contains mitochondria (M), micropinocytotic vesicles (Mp), and polyribosomes (Pr).
