Follicular oocytes were cultured for 28h in vitro and 91% of the oocytes reached the the second metaphase in culture. The penetration rate after insemination in vitro using frozen-thawed spermatozoa was 81%. After cultivation for 48h in vitro, 18% of the in vitro fertilized oocytes developed to the three- to four-cell stages and 21% of these developed to the six- to eight-cell stages. Following in vivo culture in the rabbit oviduct, 18% of six- to eight-cell and 5% of three- to four-cell embryos developed to the blastocyst stage. To confirm the full developmental competence, 11 blastocysts were transferred to recipient cows, and six (55%) cows became pregnant or delivered calves. 相似文献

In vitro fertilizing ability of stallion spermatozoa was assessed using horse follicular oocytes matured in vitro. After collection, stallion spermatozoa were either: 1) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 10 micrograms/ml heparin for 4h, 2) washed and incubated in TALP with 3 mg/ml BSA for 3 h and cultured for a further 1 h with 1 mM caffeine and 5 mM dbcAMP, 3) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml BSA at pH 7.9-8.2 for 2-4 h, or 4) diluted and incubated in TALP medium with 10 mg/ml BSA and 7.14 microM calcium ionophore A 23187 for 5-10 min followed by washing. After a given pretreatment, suspensions were diluted into B2 medium to a concentration of 5 x 10(6) sperm/ml and co-incubated with oocytes for 12 h or 24-48 h. In the ionophore-treated group, 18 of 54 oocytes (33%) were fertilized by 12 h, and 11 of 45 (24%) cleaved by 24-48 h. Evidence of fertilization was not found in the oocytes incubated with spermatozoa from other treatment procedures. 相似文献

In vitro fertilization and development of bovine oocytes matured in serum-free medium 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of supplementation of serum (fetal calf serum), gonadotropins (LH, FSH, prolactin) and estradiol-17 beta (E2) to culture medium during in vitro maturation of bovine cumulus oocyte complexes on subsequent fertilization and development to the blastocyst stage in vitro. Serum supplementation during bovine oocyte maturation was not required but hormonal supplementation, gonadotropins (LH + FSH) and E2, enhanced the fertilizability and developmental ability of bovine oocytes matured in vitro. The addition of prolactin to maturation medium containing LH, FSH, and E2 did not further enhance frequencies of fertilization and development. 相似文献

Bovine oocytes matured in vitro for 26 hours were electrically stimulated 1) by a single pulse (Treatment A); 2) by 3 pulses 30 minutes apart (Treatment B); 3) by a single pulse followed by 5 minutes of incubation in the stimulation medium (Treatment C); or 4) by a single pulse at 27 hours of maturation (Treatment D). The oocytes were then cultured for up to 8 days to assess parthenogenetic activation and development. Each electrical stimulation consisted of a 60-mus square wave pulse of 2.5 or 3.6 kV/cm. Treatment A was less effective than the other treatments (P<0.05), activating 47 or 59% of oocytes at 2.5 or 3.6 kV/cm, respectively. However, there were no differences due to voltage nor among the other treatments, which activated 64 to 78% of the oocytes. The cleavage rate, 28 to 38%, was not affected by the activation treatment, but development to the 8-cell stage or beyond was greater after activation with the higher voltage. While the numbers of morulae or blastocysts resulting from any given treatment were too small to support meaningful statistical comparison, the results indicate that bovine parthenogenotes produced in vitro are capable of development to the blastocyst stage. 相似文献

Five different biological fluids were evaluated for their ability to sustain in vitro development of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos. Brackett's defined medium was used and biological supplements were added at 10% (v/v). The fluids used were: (A) serum from heifers 2 days after superovulated estrus; (B) serum from heifers 2 days after natural estrus; (C) fetal calf serum; (D) bovine tubal secretions (day 1 to day 3) and (E) rabbit tubal secretions (day 1 to 3). Selected follicular oocytes obtained at laparoscopy (n = 219) were used with the fresh semen of one bull and after fertilization were assigned to one of the growth media. Cleavage rate and growth index were: 54% and 4.3 for A, 71% and 5.3 for B, 57% and 4.0 for C, 12% and 0.7 for D, 24% and 1.6 for E. Total protein content and 7 steroids were evaluated in the five growth media as they were used. No correlation was found between steroids and development but protein content was significantly (P < 0.05) related with growth index. At the end of the culture time (75 to 115 h after in vitro insemination) embryos were treated with fluorescent DNA stain (Hoechst 33342) or prepared for cytogenetic analysis. At this time, the fluorescent stain was found more useful than cytogenetic analysis to evaluate the number of nuclei inside the embryos. 相似文献

In vitro fertilization and cleavage capability of bovine follicular oocytes classified by cumulus cells and matured in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bovine oocytes were collected from ovaries obtained from an abattoir. They were classified according to the character of the cumulus cells using a stereomicroscope, and cultured in 25 mM Hepes buffered Tissue Culture Medium 199 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum at 39 degrees C and inseminated by capacitated sperm. Maturation rates of Class A oocytes, with compact, dense cumulus cells; Class B, partially naked oocytes with thin cumulus layers or small remnants of cumulus cells and Class C, naked oocytes were 97.4% (38/39), 89.8% (106/118) and 52.9% (45/85), respectively. The fertilization rates for the three classes were 86.8%, 85.8% and 53.3%, respectively. The naked oocytes had a significantly lower fertilization rate than oocytes of the other two classes. Significantly more Class A oocytes cleaved (63.7%, 232/364) than those of Class B (29.5%, 36/122) and Class C (17.7%, 28/158). 相似文献

The effect of the interval between onset of estrus and oocyte collection on in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates has been investigated. The oocytes were surgically collected 6-18 h (Group I), 19-24 h (Group II), 25-29 h (Group III) and 30-36 h (Group IV) after the beginning of estrus. Recognizable stages of nuclear maturation were identified in 54.9% of the oocytes used for IVF (5.9% at germinal vesicle, 31.4% at metaphase I, 17.6% at metaphase II); the other 45.1% were degenerate. Considerable between- and within-cow variation in oocyte morphology, oocyte maturation and IVF results was observed. The cverall fertilization and cleavage rates (to four-cell stages) were 26.5 and 6.0%, respectively. The fertilization rate increased as the interval between onset of estrus and collection increased and was optimal 30-36 h after onset. Thus, onset of estrus proved an effective means of timing oocyte collection for IVF. 相似文献

Described in the present paper is a cytogenetic study of bovine oocytes matured in vitro. The cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC), punctured from ovaries recovered in a local slaughterhouse, were classified into 3 groups according to follicular diameter 1 to 4mm, 5 to 8mm and 9 to 13 mm. Metaphases available for observation were classified as metaphase I, haploid and diploid metaphase II. High levels of haploid metaphases II (90.6, 86.9 and 94.4 %) among the 3 groups of follicular sizes indicated successful meiotic resumption during in vitro maturation and suggested that cytoplasmic maturation may be responsible for low developmental rate after IVM, IVF and in vitro development (IVD). 相似文献

Thirty-three laparoscopies were performed on 16 follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-superovulated cows (one to four laparoscopies per cow). Two hundred and four follicles were aspirated (6.18/cow) and 157 oocytes (77% recovery rate) were isolated. Sixty percent of the oocytes found were considered to be of good to excellent quality. In cows with ongoing ovulations at laparoscopy only 32% of the oocytes were suitable for fertilization. Twenty-four percent of the oocytes from cows with no ovulation and 16% from cows with ovulations were fertilized. Higher proportions of oocytes were fertilized in cows showing estrous behavior vs cows with no signs of estrus (25 vs 15%). Using lysolecithin-treated spermatozoa, 28% of the oocytes with good to excellent quality were fertilized, and 35% of the fertilized eggs cleaved in vitro to two- to four-cell stages. 相似文献

Bovine follicular oocytes (n = 454), obtained after laparoscopy, were used to study in vitro capacitation, fertilization, and embryo development. Capacitation was accomplished by treating bovine spermatozoa with high ionic strength medium. Maturation, fertilization, and development studies were carried out in Brackett's defined medium or in Ham's F-10. In vitro fertilization rates, ranging from 14% to 55%, were found to be influenced by individual variations among males. Brackett's defined medium was found to be superior to Ham's F-10 for oocyte maturation, fertilization, and growth, these media giving cleavage rates of 60% and 32%, respectively. Oocytes with expanded cumuli at the time of recovery cleaved at a rate of 43%, which is significantly different from oocytes recovered without granulosa cells (22%) or oocytes with compact cumuli and corona cells (5%). The in vitro development pattern of the in vitro-fertilized embryos was found to be similar to that observed in vivo. Embryos were observed at the 2-cell stage 44.5 +/- 6.3 h after in vitro insemination, 4-cell after 59.0 +/- 9.4 h, 8-cell after 74.8 +/- 12.7 h, and 16-cell after 96.2 +/- 13.9 h (observations at 12-h intervals). The procedures described here resulted in cleavage rates of up to 60% using follicular oocytes embedded in expanded cumuli cells and semen samples from selected males. 相似文献

The development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques in pigs as well as in other species is of great importance because of the possible applications of this technology in different research fields. Methods of IVF vary in different incubation periods and temperatures, in the hormone concentrations used, and in the treatment of the sperm samples. It has been particularly difficult to succeed in the achievement of fertilization in the pig. In the present study we used FSH and LH concentrations of 2 IU/ml for oocyte maturation, an incubation temperature of 37°C, and dilution of spermatozoa for capacitation, and we achieved a high fertilization rate (50 to 75%) with no cases of polyspermy. 相似文献

Mammalian oocytes mature in follicular fluid (FF), surrounded by follicular cells. In the present study, in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes cultured in FF from dominant follicles 15-17mm in diameter (with various forms of heat pretreatment) and supplementation with follicular wall from follicles 3-5mm in diameter (FW1) were examined. Heat pretreatment of FF was as follows: (1) no treatment (FF1); (2) 56 degrees C for 30min (FF2); and (3) 100 degrees C for 20s (FF3). After IVM in FF1, oocytes underwent IVF and IVC and embryo development was assessed (up to the morula stage). The rate of oocyte maturation was decreased in pure FF1 versus control (44.5% versus 62.8%, P<0.001). In the control medium, FW1 did not significantly affect nuclear maturation. By contrast, the addition of FW1 to FF1 increased the rate of matured oocytes approximately two-fold (85.9% versus 45.6%, P<0.001). Furthermore, the maturation rate in the FF+FW1 system declined (from 85.9 to 71.0%, P<0.001), whereas that in the FF system increased (from 45.6 to 71.6%, P<0.001) with increased temperature of the FF treatment. Supplementation of the control medium with FW1 increased the yield of morulae (42.6% versus 13.7%, P<0.001). However, the stimulatory effect of FW1 on the morula rate was much higher in pure FF1 (72.5% versus 31.7%, P<0.001). These findings indicated, for the first time, the stimulatory impact of FW1 on in vitro maturation and early developmental capacity of bovine oocytes cultured in pure FF from dominant follicles. We also inferred that bovine FF constituents affecting bovine oocyte maturation and the meiosis-promoting ability of the FW were heat-labile. 相似文献

The effects of media (TCM199 vs. synthetic oviduct fluid, SOF), sera (foetal calf serum, FCS vs. human serum, HS), gas atmosphere (5% CO2 in air vs. 5% CO2, 5% O2 and 90% N2) and coculture with bovine oviduct epithelial cells (cells vs. no cells) on the in-vitro development of in-vitro matured and fertilized bovine oocytes were examined. Immature oocytes surrounded with compacted cumulus cells were cultured for 24 h in TCM199 supplemented with 10% FCS, 10 micrograms follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)/ml and 10 micrograms luteinizing hormone (LH)/ml, 1 microgram oestradiol/ml, and 1 x 10(6) granulosa cells at 39 degrees C under 5% CO2 in air. In-vitro fertilization was performed with frozen-thawed, heparin-treated (100 micrograms/ml, 15 min) spermatozoa from 2 bulls. Oocytes were incubated with 2.5 x 10(6) spermatozoa/ml for 24 h and then cultured in one of 16 treatments for 7 days. Cleavage (2-8-cell) and development to blastocysts were recorded on Days 2 and 7, respectively, after the start of culture. SOF was superior to TCM199 for cleavage (P less than 0.01), development to blastocysts (P less than 0.001) and for proportion of cultured ova resulting in blastocysts with at least 60 or at least 100 nuclei (P less than 0.001). FCS was superior to HS for development to blastocysts (P less than 0.001) and 5% oxygen was superior to air for the proportion of ova reaching at least 60 cells (P less than 0.01). For cleavage and development to blastocysts, there was an interaction between serum and cells (P less than 0.01). In the presence of cells, ova preferred FCS, in their absence, serum had little effect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The incidence of bovine diploid oocytes matured in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The present work describes a cytogenetic study of in vitro matured bovine oocytes to determine the proportion of unreduced oocytes carrying the diploid number of chromosomes. Studied oocytes were derived either from a pool of oocytes collected from several different donors, or from oocytes collected separately from individual donors. In vitro maturation was performed by culturing immature oocytes for 24 h in TCM199-medium supplemented with estrous cow serum and hormones at 39 degrees C in 5% CO2. Chromosomal complement of in vitro matured oocytes was studied by Giemsa-staining and produced analyzable results in approximately 60% of the cases. The results revealed that approximately 75% of oocytes had matured to the MII stage in both groups of oocytes studied. Of these MII oocytes, 11 and 12.4% (from the oocyte pool or from individual cows, respectively) contained the diploid set of chromosomes. The occurrence of diploid MII oocytes was not quite uniform among donors: 40.5% of all cows produced one, 18.9% produced two and 2.7% (one cow) produced three diploid MII oocytes. However, a positive relationship between the number of MII oocytes in general and diploid MII oocytes among individual donors was not found. The possible factors that may lead to the formation of diploid MII oocytes observed under IVM procedures are discussed. The results of this study showed a higher incidence of diploid oocytes in cattle than previously reported. 相似文献

Incubating washed ram spermatozoa in a modified Brackett's defined medium buffered with Hepes (DM-H) containing 20% of heat-inactivated sheep serum appears to be a reliable method of capacitating sperm for in vitro fertilization. Raising the Ca(++) concentration in the fertilization medium (DM-H-SS) to 10 mM stabilized the fertilization rate of various rams (2). This study was designed to determine if the developmental competence of the oocytes fertilized under such conditions was normal. Thirty-seven ewes, treated with progestagen sponges, were superovulated with porcine follicle stimulating hormone (pFSH: 16 mg). An intramuscular injection of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH: 100 mug); given 24 to 26 h after sponge removal, induced the synchronization of ovulations 24 h later. Ovulated oocytes (n = 229) recovered with flushing of the oviducts were inseminated in vitro and 17 h later either fixed in acetic/alcohol (n = 115) to evaluate fertilization or transferred (n = 114) into 38 synchronized recipients (three oocytes/recipient) to evaluate their developmental competence. Of the fixed oocytes, 82.6% were fertilized and 61.7% were monospermic. Nineteen of the recipient ewes (50%) were pregnant at Day 18, and 16 ewes produced a total of 26 live young (mean: 1.63/ewe). The results showed a high efficiency of in vitro fertilization of ovulated oocytes in sheep following a pFSH-GnRH treatment and the in vivo developmental competence of oocytes fertilized in the presence of elevated Ca(++) concentration. 相似文献

Boar ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa were preincubated in modified KRB or the isolated oviduct and uterine horn of an oestrous sow for 4.5-5 h at 37 degrees C before introduction into medium containing ovarian oocytes previously cultured for 24 h. At examination 17-20 h after insemination 60.6% of the total oocytes had reached at least the 2nd metaphase. The proportions of oocytes penetrated (i.e. enlarged sperm head or male pronucleus and corresponding sperm tail) were 0, 10.0 and 16.7% with ejaculated spermatozoa, and 3.3, 19.6 and 26.4% with epididymal spermatozoa preincubated in modified KRB, oviduct and uterus, respectively. Although the proportion of oocytes with morphologically normal male and female pronuclei was low (10/36 = 27.8%), the results suggest that boar spermatozoa can be capacitated in the isolated genital tract of an oestrous sow and that capacitation of epididymal is better than that of ejaculated spermatozoa. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of bacterial endotoxin in the bovine serum albumin (BSA) used to supplement media utilized for sperm preparation and co-culture of bovine sperm and oocytes affects in vitro penetration and embryonic development of oocytes matured in vitro. The chromogenic limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test was used for quantification of the content of endotoxin. The proportion of penetrated ova was significantly greater (P greater than 0.0005) for the endotoxin-contaminated group (89%) versus the non-contaminated group (61%), but this was probably not due to endotoxin contamination. The presence of endotoxin resulted in a high rate of polyspermy (27% versus 4%, respectively; P greater than 0.0005), while the occurrence of parthenogenetic activation was the same for each group (8%). The proportion of total embryos put into culture that developed to the blastocyst stage by day 8 was similar (30% and 26%) for the contaminated and non-contaminated group, respectively. Fifty-three and 69%, respectively, hatched on day 10. These results suggest that endotoxin induces polyspermy, but has no adverse effect on embryonic development. 相似文献
