Secretory Activity of Day 11 Porcine Embryos from 3 Gilts

Morgan S. Clemens published a dataset on figshare in 2026. It contains measurements of secretory activity from porcine embryos on gestational day 11. The data includes concentrations of estradiol and interleukin-1β (IL1B) from spent culture media and embryonic expression of IL1B2 mRNA, collected from embryos from three gilts.

Use Cases

• Analyze inter-animal variability in embryo secretory activity based on estradiol and IL1B concentrations.
• Compare embryonic secretory profiles based on gestational day 11 measurements.
• Investigate the relationship between embryonic sex and secretory markers based on the study's findings.
• Model biological variation in early conceptus physiology based on the quantified hormone and cytokine levels.

Strengths

• Data includes quantified concentrations of estradiol and interleukin-1β (IL1B) from ELISA.
• Embryonic expression of interleukin-1β2 (IL1B2) mRNA was assessed by quantitative PCR.
• Embryos were individually cultured and sexed by polymerase chain reaction.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset size is 16.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
