The process of mammalian implantation has been investigated using an in vitro model system wherein the trophoblast cells of mouse blastocysts attach to and outgrowth on tissue culture plates containing a complex medium. We now report that two extracellular matrix glycoproteins, fibronectin and laminin, when individually precoated on tissue culture plates promoted in vitro attachment and outgrowth of mouse blastocysts in serum-free medium. The kinetics of attachment and outgrowth processes in the presence of either of these two proteins were identical to that observed in complex, serum-containing medium. In contrast, plates containing a collagen matrix or pretreated with a variety of other serum proteins or various lectins failed to support in vitro attachment and outgrowth of blastocysts. Because all components of the culture medium are defined and both fibronectin and laminin are known components of the basement membrane of the endometrium, this in vitro system offers considerable advantages over the serum supplemented system to study in vitro implantation.
