Conditions were found for staining whole mid-gestation capsular parietal endoderms and visceral yolk sacs for malic enzyme activity that gave excellent discrimination between wild-type (Mod-1+/Mod-1+) cells and mutant (Mod-1n/Mod-1n) cells that lack the cytoplasmic form of the enzyme. Reciprocal blastocyst
