Immune rejection can lead to the failure of human embryonic stem cell (hES cell) transplantation. One approach to address the problem is to establish hES cell line banks. Due to the limited source of human embryos and to ethical reasons, the hES cell lines are not readily available. This study was undertaken to determine whether discarded day 3 embryos with low morphological scores could develop into blastocysts and produce hES cell lines.
